Been after one of these for a while but NOT in this colour .I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but "acid yellow" ?

Falcon looks overpriced considering if you weld anything broken off to the frame it's going to ruin the paintwork. Should be priced as faulty & not as a tidy machine. Seller clearly knows there's no money in putting it right and selling himself, so hopes someone else will pay tidy money for a bike that will then need repairs & paintwork!

BITD we generally just lobbed the cable for the front mech under the BB without any guides. Seemed to work ok . Saved the cost of a cable clamp lol. Still a bit pricey though...........

Now these bikes feel gear to cycle on due to the long wheel base if i lived near london i would buy it asap, Thats as long as seller reduced the price a bit.

Seriously like the Olmo look - somehow an economy of line that to my eye is near perfect. One of their early competition frames loaded with Galli kit is on my wish list. I draw the line at period Campag stuff. Think I've said before that IMO Suntour Superbe stuff streets it at about a third of the price. I feel better now.

Still kicking myself; at the local (Lowdham) car boot this morning I chatted to a very knowledgeable bloke who had some bike jumble items on his wife's stall. Among them was a lightweight frame by Armstrong of Birmingham. I'd guess late 40s, but it could have been earlier, rather distressed original paintwork, but negligible rust, about a 22" or maybe slightly bigger. For some reason, I wasn't in a buying mood, and convinced myself to leave it, despite the asking price of ten whole pounds, as I've already had to rearrange my limited storage facilities to fit in the current project, and it looked a bit too flimsy to support my considerable bulk. To reinforce my decision, I suggested that he apply a protective coat of clear lacquer and build it up as a fixie - he seemed to be genuinely considering that option as I walked away. Now I can't get it out of my mind!

Ha! There are only three* car boots a year at Lowdham ; next one's on August Bank Holiday.

* Only two this year, as the Mayday one was cancelled due to wet conditions - rather prematurely in my opinion, as several days of hot dry weather left the ground pretty well parched! Oh well....I really didn't need another frame, it's just ............

I obviously haven't got my cookie settings right yet cos this one slipped through (I was reading velonews at the time so it's a good guess).

One for the motorbike manufacturer fan boys:
