hutch trick star,

I had a Hutch Trick Star at the height of flat land freestyle in the 80's. Lavender color with white Skyway Tuff wheels. Loved that bike. Would love to have one again but serious lack of funds now and those bikes complete or just frames are big money on Ebay now.

Not gathering dust anymore, sold my Patterson Racing a year ago

I've got a few laying around, mostly old Mongooses and GTs. My dad worked at a bike shop when I was a kid, we ended up with cool stuff all the time. Best one that I still have, full chrome GT Freestyle with a welded bash guard. Not many of these around from what I understand.

Needs a chain and the outer portion of the Oakley grips. We rode the crap out of it when we got it in the mid 90s.

Dug an old GT Vertigo out of a pile at the pawn shop for $15 too. All original, grips, tires, brakes, all of it. Cleaned up really nice, it's fun to rip around on.

I've still got my 1990 GT Mach 1 and a 1986 Schwinn black shadow

Just looked on Ebay for Trickstars. Complete bike are going from $1650 to $3500. Crazy.

I keep eyeballing a 26" GT Interceptor, it's much harder to hide bikes than RC cars from the wife :lmao:

 

[CM9000]

I also have a gt mach 1 siting in the shed, and a new release pk quadangle. but its not the same. doesn't feel right.

ill snag some pics of my jmc when I get home. it will make you drool :shock:

way harder...

I have maybe 7 of the top of my head but only 3 are oldschool.

I brought 3 home from korea when I served 2 years there. my little room was stuffed with bikes and rc cars lol. since we couldn't drive unless your spouse was there...

she was pretty pissed when she seen the "household goods" shipment show up.

Turning 40 in june and still ride my Haro backtrails x3 on a monthly basis. Not vintage at all (bought in 00') but still love riding it."thumbsup"

i bought an old looptail quad from the principles son, who was a total dirtball, for 35 bucks. even then it was at least a 200 buck bike, quadangles were never common or cheap... i had it for about a week and loaned it to a buddy, who then sold it for 25 bucks.

we are still friends. but if i think about it enough i get tweaked.

 

[badhoopty]

my bikes.

the haro i had to tear down and soak in wd40 and restore it a little from sitting on a deck for a decade, but it cleaned up nice. ripper behind it was originally black with powder blue decals. one of these days ill restore it back to like it was. the torker is nice but id like a floval flyer if i ever did get to riding again.

I don't have any race bikes, but I still have my 1987 GT Performer that I got for Christmas in 1987. I upgraded a few things (GT Epoch headset, Bulldog front brake, Dyno bars, GT stem) back in the day. I restored it a few years ago. You'd think I was nuts if I told you how much money I have in shipping it off for powder coating.

The front mag wheel is not the original one due to failed bearings. This one is an Ebay special that was dyed purple. It took 5 applications of oven cleaner to get rid of the dye. I'm looking for some old school tires. The look of these Kendas drives me crazy.

 

[badhoopty]

^thats cool. very.

^^That's badass. Brings back some memories from my day. Lowered mini truck, with the flat land freestyle bike and rockin a mullet. Good times. As much as I hate things from the 80's, that bike is great.

 

[maslin]

Had a purple with white performer too... the good old days.

Like this, it was terrible :mrgreen:
