Freeagent is very cool - made by VDC in case you didn't know!  :daumenhoch:

Purchased by myself from Alpine Action- Notting Hill Gate in December 1984. The frame and forks at the time were "ALLEGEDLY" pre production due to the fact that the top tube is 1 1/2 inches longer behind the seat tube than the standard production version.
The frame and forks were originally chrome plated but with nickel blows (golding) around the top tube and seat tube as well as along the seat and chain stays, as I said pre production . The reason that I came by owning this bike was due to the fact that my friend James had one on hold from Alpine Action for his birthday in December. When he picked it up my eyes nearly poped out and I knew I had to own one.

The bike has no seriel no, campy dropouts and an extended top tupe with frame stands that are further back. Alpine Action had the frame in a stock a couple of months before the purchase so I guess it was made around Aug/Sep 84.

I think I've said this in another thread but that, for me, was the bike of the show.

Inspired me to go and build a show stopper for next year.

I loved the polished Araya Aero's. I'm polishing a set at the moment and know how much work goes into them.

It is a beautiful machine, I'd like to know who owns it also - looks like it has the campy drop-outs as well  :smitten:

That is lovely. So what are Campy drop-outs ?

Campy drop outs refers to the early type that was stamped and cut by Campagnolo for VDC. I think that the later framsets had a totally different style of drop out made in house.
