With cars it's considered the fewer the previous owners the better but I always find it interesting to know where a car has been in the world and who may have owned it.
Anyone know of any parts or framesets that have been round the Rad houses so to speak. Any before and after pics, restoration horror stories, or Rad folklore parts that may have seem more hands than the wank sock?

The yellow 84 GT Pro Performer I had for a few years is now owned by Iain Williams, Stu27 had it before me, Sweerbeats prior to Stu and SteveP before Jase.

I think it was Moose's grey/red one before I sent it to SBD. :daumenhoch:
The DP Firebird Freestyler that Rick now owns, is the same one I bought off Rick in 2011. It's the same frame that Firebird Steve used to own, and used for close up shots on the DP website in the Mk2 FF section.

What a mad coincidence of this turning up on FB in the same week that Clint started this thread.
My old 84 FST that I sold in Nov 2012 to Darren via eBay. He's now moving it on to its next lucky owner.

Would be interested to know if anyone knows about the history of my grey Kappa Brutus (pic in museum).. i bought it from "OLLIE" and have an idea it belonged to "SANMARCOPIZZA" at one point.
