I'm quite interested in this Falcon.

Half chrome forks usually mean a Black Diamond, a later one without the curly lugs. A hundred quid give or take is about right.

Does this look alright? It's the right size, colour etc. I'm very taken with it.

I have used that seller a couple of times , only thing i would say there packing skills were not great on the one's i bought , but that was a couple of years ago .

And they don't mind offers so remember that

I think it's pricey in current climate but if you like it then don't worry about it

If you fancy a trip up to Northamptonshire i might well have something in the garage that you like @Paulus

@Paulus If you don't fancy trogging up to Northants I'm going to be punting a Carlton in a week or two.
The paint isn't as good as that Falcon, but it won't be £125 plus delivery either...

It all depends on how much you want to pay?
From the photos it looks to be in very good condition. The half chrome forks do it for me !
They ride well. I was out on mine last night. Mind you I have alloy rims with narrow tyres fitted. Alloy rims can transform the feel of a bike.
As raleighnut says suicide levers can be used with confidence for just slowing down whilst your hands are on top of the bars.
As with most things . "You pays your money, You takes your choice !"
You can always say you got it for less! Who's to know ?

It looks OK for what it is, a cheap tourer of the period, but nothing special, the suicide levers were never seen on decent bikes, lower grade Shimano components, I don't know if its worth the asking price, I wouldn't buy it.

I am going to guess that almost anything in @biggs682 's garage is better than that bicycle.

I wouldn't go that far

All the above is true but it looks pretty unmolested so as a period piece I can see the attraction. I quite fancy an old MR2 the like of which which I had in the late 80's......acceleration, dynamics, kit and comfort wise it's in the dark ages compared to the mini cooper on our drive at home. Still want one again though
