Why not post a picture of your Fixed/Singlespeed bike

[feckless]

Here's my gaspipe Falcon, dating from the late 70s or early 80s, currently in use as my errand and around town bike.

Paint and set-up is very not original. I converted it to a fixie in 2007, and gave it a rattle-can paint job to resemble the 60s era Falcon San Remo I yearned for in my youth. Made the decals myself too, though they bear as much close inspection as the paint

After a moment of novice-fixed-riding-incompetence led to a broken wrist I quickly decided that freewheeling is one of the great pleasures of cycling, and modified the Falcon accordingly.

Flat-bars and dia-comp brakes a were added over covid, because I wanted to use the bike around town a bit more than I had and that requires an ability to actually stop that seemed beyond the original pull-and-pray Weinemann side-pulls.

This is my 70s/early 80s cheap mass produced Falcon fixy it's a Falcon Streak , does it resemble yours before repaint .

Haha ... if only. Though I suspect the frames are probably very similar.

The only pre-paint pic I have of mine is attached. Definitely older than yours judging by the decals and colour scheme. I guessed its age based on the headbadge – foil, with Ernie Clements signature – so after '78 and probably before '83.

I got the frame given many many years ago it does have some very eighties garish decals, the paint it's self is very good and rides amazingly well for a cheapy .
You did a great job on the repaint with yours looks a big improvement on original.
