I was never a huge HUTCH fan BITD, but i can appreciate this build immensely! I really like it!
Thanks again! And yes Highlander the Hutches were know for cracking, this was due to the fact that they used 0.035 wall tubing throughout the whole frame......extremely light but very weak. It is fine for a race bike but has no place on a flatland frame. This new frame is made of Ox Platinum which has a way higher fatigue strength than standard 4130 chromoly, yet it weighs almost exactly the same.

Yes,there were about 5 at that time (90's) and all were cracked at the seat stays except one purple one that a small kid had that he just used for joy riding completely original! .I read up on this new beast and i have no doubt its Indestructible!!.Is this frame just one or will there be more?
