Here you go tones. 100% original. It's very dusty, but overall great shape. Needs new grips, and the tires are rotten. Seat has some scratches, and the seat post has some surface rust on it. I lost the top bar pad, and the gooseneck pad in a house fire in 91'. I never left the bike outside. I kept it in my bedroom, because I had other bikes get stolen. Chrome is perfect. Did you say thousands, with an s?
I'm down with the Flu currently. I will roll this out side and shine her up when I feel better. Sorry for the crappy picture.

Looks great and Hutches bring some of the biggest collector value but the Pro Raider being the entry level model, it has the least value. A Pro Racer with ALL Hutch parts like the H stem, cranks, Titanium hubs, bear trap pedals, seat clamp and bars will fetch a couple grand easy.
I'm not a collector but I raced a Hutch and screwed around on half pipes on a Haro Master back in the day and now I'm back racing and it's funner than ever. I won't lie, this is more fun than autocross.

Awesome photo Jay.
How often do you race? I will admit, it is fun being on a BMX bike. You got to be in shape for that for sure. Have fun!

Thanks for the link, I'm going to have to check it out....not!

I will say that I've ridden SeaTac and Sumner and just putzin around it's exhausting. Jason is defiantly "the pusher" when it comes to getting out and having fun. He's also a heck of a bicycle tour guide and Tacoma historian, thanks for that!

Thanks! This sport is basically my crack pipe and I race indoors 2x a week during the winter and once a week the other 6 months of the year. It's funner than a gym and cheaper than a therapist and serves both purposes. At 43 right now, I'm stronger and fitter than I was at 21.
Check www.USABMX.com and see if there's a track nearby. You can start with guys your age as a novice and figure it out without jumping right in the fire.
