My new old falcon

[iLB]

the bike was originally donated by aperitif of CC fame, but needed abit of TLC to make it road worthy again

the rolls and the pedals were sourced through CC, the new levers with hoods came from fleabay, and for now im using a spare 700c wheel on the front, the original needs a new tire

it may eventually end up being a fixie, once i find a cheap 700c fixed rear wheel or similar, but until then it all works nicely, and i think it looks pretty good, what do you think to it?

Cro-Mo something or other is it not? There's a little badge under the top bar / seat tube junction is there not?

Nice work. Nice saddle - it used to have a Rolls on it prior to my dad's Brooks. The Rolls is on my Colnago now. Rub the rust spots with a cotton bud soaked in Jenolite etc Andy...then ask fossy how to keep it clean.

Well done.

Nice. Chain looks a little bit on the slack side though.
