https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Freddie-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-F-H...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

This is intriguing. If you look closely this is a '70s Cylcocross frame - braze-ons for bar-end shifters and for the rear mech cable along the top tube and down the seat stay (although it has downtube shifters on it now). It's Badged Barry Davies Cycles. Barry was a 70's CX pro (thanks google! there's a nice interview with him here):

That Hercules looks even more original than mine and i would happily go for it if it was nearer same goes for that Grubb in York

I think those two are gorgeous, especially the Grubb.

I would have both if nearer but alas too far away

Hi Guys new to your forum
I have renovated a number of bikes and would like your opinion on the Falcon I have completed
Bike came from Oxford area and possibly (Alan Williams bike shop) owned
I think its a 1976 Super Pro 286 after reading your comments, its a single butted 531 frame and came with the Shimano first gen group set
Here's the link to the rebuild https://www.flickr.com/gp/137108500@N06/yF3235
Thank you in advance

Nice looking Falcon . Falcon were a law unto themselves and it should be cro-mo and not reynolds if its a Super Pro, its not a First Gen Dura Ace group set aside from the rear Crane Mech.

Trying to tie down Falcon Bikes and what they used for kit from any era is a blooming nightmare! Maybe it might have been easier if their factory didn't half burn down...... And maybe not lol

Nice Falcon. I have a very similar one see avatar photo, model 86 pro. Interesting that your bike has the same red overspray or base coat on the steerer tube as mine. Did you rub the bike down and respray it? I put about 1000 miles on mine last summer, been using modern conti tyres.
There should be a date stamp on the Crane mech and SR cranks. About 79 would be my guess for the bike.

 

[ProAktive52]

Hi
Had it blasted and re finished (Universal Cycles Maltby); picture in link shows 76 on crank arm
I originally thought it to be a Model 86
If riding regularly I would change the tyres; left as original as I could
Have you a link to your bike pics

I'm intrigued by this Raleigh. Can anyone shed any light on what it is? The SA hub looks new and seems to have a coaster brake but the fork crown looks vintage...

The frame looks way before my time.... But with a very modern paint job?
