Welcome aboard, glad you found us.

We/you need posts and pics, we can't just wing it.

Go around, say "Hi" and or comment to get to 10, then "pics or it didn't happen".

Falcon’s were an English brand BITD. Most everything they made was above average quality. If it’s got a 531 frame sticker it could be worth several hundred dollars. Post some pics. Take close ups of the components.

Falcon made a wide range of bikes ranging from gaspipe boom era ten speeds to top of the line race bikes. All of there stuff including low end has bit of a following and is worth some money if it is complete and in good working order.
