Info on 80s Falcon Roadbike with 531 tubing
Hi, this bike is for sale locally and I can't find any information on it. Does anyone know anything?
Heres the link: https://fresno.craigslist.org/bik/d/falcon-road-bike/6634674171.html
Is this a good deal?
Thanks in advance.

Been watching that one a while.
If it fits, I would snap it up. At that price, what's not to like?
It's too sizes too small for me, unfortunately, or I would have bought it months ago.

Falcon made a range of bikes, still in biz maybe. Haggle a good price and check the usual spots for crash or corrosion. No bubbly paint hiding rust. If it fits = just do it.

It does seem like a good deal, any other complete bike with 531 tubing would surely go for more in this condition.
I'll see if I can arrange something with them.

By the way what kind of saddle bag is that? I'm looking for a similarly designed bag for my 1983 Trek 520.

Blue bike is the one for sale.
Not many people around that can spot quality, I guess. You would think it would be a cinch to sell this for $200, but it's a tough market.
Seeing gems like this linger for so long, does not exactly motivate me to put any of my bikes or frames up for sale, I might as well give the stuff away at these prices.

The Falcon pictured with saddle bag belongs to a person I rode with yesterday, but no idea about the bag- I just don’t check out bags.
