Old Falcon?

[Neilka]

Like I said in my introduction message, I think (basically because of the lugs) this is a Falcon. Haven't found a frame number yet. Any ideas people?

From what I see could be a Black Diamond with the copy Carlton a flyer lugs. Not unusual for Falcons to have random or no frame numbers lol.

Going to keep the peadls that were on it. Just need a little bit of cleaning up 😜

Anything on the rear dropouts?
Have you looked on the fork column?

Just checked for a second time, nothing there.
Maybe when I strip the paint I'll find something 🤷🏻‍♂️

Try cellulose thinners first as it might reveal the original paint finish underneath and maybe some transfers .
The fork crown looks a bit like a replacement one .

Any date on the back of the brakes?

What can I do here? The chrome is pitted with rust and missing in places😞

Looks like the headset was also chromed 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is one method of removing a stuck fixed cup.

I’d just clean them with wire wool and WD40, and then some Autosol. they’re never going be perfect but you’ll be surprised how well they will come up.

Find a bolt about 12/13mm thread size position inside bottom bracket shell so the threaded end is on the outside of the frame not add a couple of spring washers and the nut then keep tightening and once it locks up it will grip the cup and hey presto it will come undone
