It cost a hell of a lot of money to advertise.It’s very difficult to tell were the 79 and 80 break in serial #`s because of so many people installing the wrong head tube sticker because its so hard to find the black/prism sticker. I just wanted to find out if advertising worked. When she sold frames, she took all that money and put it into advertising. I built all the frames and just gave her an invoice. I still have some invoices that I billed to Free Agent. I think he is the one that ended up selling the company. So he (Brad) ended up running the company. She lost 40 lbs., bought a Corvette and skipped town to Vegas. He was then making the stuff in the garage.

I said, "You're full of shit! That was me!" I read all this crap about how Brent Shoup started as a one man shop and had a better dream…all this stuff. VD: Next time I get to California, I am going to ask Gary (Turner) to find out. I still have all the paper work that says I own half of it. But, I don't know who owns the other half. I will build all the bikes, and you run with it." So that is where Free Agent came from. I told her, "I don't believe in advertising, so let's see if it works." "Here's the name of the company, "Free Agent". I told her to open up a checking account. So I picked up on the name and went over to Yvonne and gave her $1000.

VD: I saw a pro that was in-between sponsors, and he had "Free Agent" on his jersey. VD: He rode for me, and his mother Yvonne sold the Free Agent frames. VD: You know Brent Shoup? He "supposedly" started Free Agent all by himself? JS: On the racing side, did you have any pros? Check out the photos below, and here’s an extract from Jay Stark’s interview with Voris Dixon:. Nothing fancy, just a simple build, along the lines of a budget-racer from the mid-80s. With both the paintwork and decals showing their age, I went for a survivor look using old school parts wherever possible. It was sourced from California along with the bars, which measure 27 ½†with a rise of 8 9/16â€, so I think are original Free Agent Pros. The TT length is 19 1/8†and there is no chainstay brace. At first I thought the green was a spray-bomb job but both the paintwork and the era-correct decals are in the condition you’d expect after 30-odd years. It’s built around an ‘84 frameset (the 8-digit serial - on the non-drive side dropout - is 1284****), which I think makes it one of the early ones built by Brad Shoup in Beuna Park, California rather than VDC, as Voris Dixon was shutting up shop around that time. I loved the story behind the name and idea (as explained further in the extract from Jay Stark’s interview with Voris Dixon below) and finally picked up this '84 version. Largely through the ownership of a VDC-built Trident, I’ve become increasingly interested in Free Agents.
