Dawes ,Claud Butler , Radfod ?

[shinobi]

Hi guys
A family member has got a hybrid bike that he is convinced is something special and wants me to get it running as its been layed up for years .
When i saw it i just thought "dump it " :roll: it seems to be 90s far east alloy frame far from the "hand built " thing he thinks it is ! anyway the decals are off it but it has Radford on the headtube and a couple of R decals elsewhere along with a Dawes sticker so i wondered if anyone knew the history or the links between the three companys that seem to be involved
Cheers Paul

Thanks mate , the Dawes sticker is tiny and maybe something the retailer put on .
