Re: [CR] Falcon Professional

Marten, do I take from your reply that Reynolds did make a 27.0 seat tube that was slightly thicker than the 27.2?

Barrie, I am sure the frame was not built for a professional rider -- it has a decal saying Professional across the top tube, that's all!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is an FKW?

In the mid 70s Falcon pro bike were built by Terry Dolan, 2 frames per rider,. I have just sold Sid Barras s bike, and checked with Terry. They were only 531 comp tubing and with no numbers. I cant say , but I would have serious doubts as to the authenticity of this one, the tubing on a British Team frame would always be 531 I doubt us Brits would ever accept any other. Stan Pike was the first to use a foreign tube for Pro frames as far as I know, but, who knows. This isnt, as far as I can tell, a comp pro frame. maybe its a FKW, or even....a D.... Cant say it.
