Hutch got a bike

Christine came home from Tar-jei today with this thing…I instantly upgraded it and made it dope!

    Hutch Rocks! He’ll be ripping the J-Hops before you know it.

    He can already do more 80’s bmx flatland tricks than most of my 30 something year old friends who collect those bikes. He totally loves the like-a-bike…I can just see him riding that 14″ Libertas next spring on road rides.

    does that libertas hold any air yet? i wonder if you could shoot some stan’s tubeless into the tubes (you can if they arnt presta) to seal the little holes.

    nice video. that like a bike didnt have a friken saddle? also: it needs cork grips.

    Rob rigged up the zipped-tied Bianchi saddle because the one that come with the pseudo likeabike mounted up off the frame by about 2 inches, meaning Hutch couldn’t touch the ground.

    havnt you bad parents heard of platform shoes? he could keep oil in one shoe and grease in the other. or, fig newtons.

    pretty sure the libertas holds air, since i have ridden it around the fix, and rob does all the time.

    Starting him off young eh? Did anyone mention how incredibly cute this is. Let me just say awwwwwwwwwww.

    Thanks Mel.
    You mean you guys don’t think the Bianchi saddle is DOPE?
    It’s ultra-snazzy Dopity Dope ina finger sausage roll top mini can from a commie country sorta way…besides, it’s got faux animal fur and it’s zipped tied for ultra safety. The Libertas holds air…for about two hours. I think the stems ( shraeder ) are leaking. But go figure, I got them through Sheldon Brown.
