Hi David. Welcome to the list. I used to ride a falcon that my brother brought back from England in the early '70s. It was the first real good steel frame that I rode on and it was good. Nice rigid and responsive ride. I used to ride it around the Connecticut River Valley when attending Hampshire Collage in the early years just after it opened. (I did graduate.) I lost the bike to a thief. I replaced it with another English bike, a Bob Jackson, a frame which has many of the same great qualities that I remember the falcon had. . Best Regards.
