I am afraid I haven't any info. on the bike in question. I do have however what is a mid line Falcon of about 1959 or so vintage. I am basing this date on the code of the Williams crank-set which I think is original to it. {Thanks Hillary Stone for your Williams dating info.} It is a 23inch frame ; Slightly flamboyant deep red paint, with pale blue accents on seat tube . paint is original but poorish, I rescued the bike out of a recycle bin 20 odd years ago.Nicely built, but definitely mid line. No sculpting to top of seat tube, seat stay ends simply squeezed in on themselves to form a tidy concave hollow. Right side braze on for a Cyclo rear shifter , marks on seat tube from a cyclo lever type F.D.{missing} A very nice brass Falcon head badge, three aluminium rivet fixing. D.T transfer yellow script Falcon within a Orange oval ,four yellow circles of diminishing size at either end {only about 7 in. in length}, etc. If anybody can provide catalogue scans for this time period I would be most grateful. Its definitely not as nice a model as the Super Route shown in a previous post. Thanks all! Greg Lone Langley B.C. Canada
