Thanks for the comments. It was chrome originally. But was flaking badly. So I had a fresh coat of powder done to it. Its a 24" Cruiser, and a highly desireable one at that. The hubs are Campagnolo C record (Sheriff Star) and are pretty rare themselves. Most parts on it are survivor condition, except the rims, tires, chain and freewheel which were all NOS.

Very Very Nice. I haven't seen a set of those oakley grips in a long time. How long have you been working on this?

 

[I am the owl...]

It took around a year to build.

wow Campi high flange hubs - sweet. That bike is gorgeous.

 

[Rat Rod]

Wow...she's a beauty alright.

I especially like that invisible brake cable. :wink:

 

[I am the owl...]

Thanks. The brake cable took the longest. I had to do a special ritual, which involved a few rare tropical plants, bones from a 235 year old corpse, and the blood of an innocent. All that, a few chants, and voila...invisible cable. :wink:

Nice bike.. I wonder where my buddy Kev is in the world..

 

[I am the owl...]

Hes busy buildin a couple BMX I think. I see him on the sites all the time

 

[bmxerpete]

I'm not a huge Hutch fan, but that came out beautiful. Those hubs are awesome...I have low flange Records on my Cyclecraft and they still spin unbelievably smooth after 30 years.

 

[I am the owl...]

On my test run on this bike I was blown away. It feels like a thoroughbred, it just wants to go. The hubs havent been packed for ages, and still spin like butter. Id put them against ANY sealed bearing hub on the market. They reek of quality, and are timeless in design.

That's an NOS Hutch Invisble Brake cable. They're very rare. I've never seen one.


Super nice build. Waaaaay back when in my BMX days, Hutch's were a rare sight and very desirable.
