I may have a source on some never-built up Falcons. The little I know so far is from someone (not a bicycle madman) who thinks they are

- blue - 531 - never built up - maybe from the 1980s

so the end of the classic Falcon era, it sounds like. Or maybe after. I hope to get more details later this week -- including model types and sizes.

But if anyone wants to offer Falcon opinions now, I am eager to hear them. Which models were hi-end? Are the hi-end ones, even from the 80's, worthy of excitement? Did they have a reputation for long top-tubes or good or bad anything?
