    Do you have an interest in Falcons? I have a bit of a thing about them.

    The paintwork is sad but I don't want to respray it. The block can't be original - 5 speed Suntour 14-28T - I'll put a Cyclone GT mech on it. Cinelli stem and bars, Shimano LB100 shifters, Tourney brakes (ripe for an upgrade).

    Did you see the red Super Pro that went on Ebay a few days ago? Campag hubs on that.

    Here is what I did with my original Pro(?)- toured with it in Canada among other places (not me in the pic btw). It had the SR drillium chainset (replaced with a single Campag 48 and Cyclone mechs. Top cable clips were Campag, CrMo sticker, Cinelli bars and stem.

    New from Fred Williams in Wolverhampton in 1985 for £133 without saddle, wheels and block because I got a Mavic/Campag Tipo/Sachs block build instead. Fred was probably annoyed that I wanted bits of a new bike rather than the whole. I thought I knew what I was doing but I didn't really. The frame got dented by various airlines so I binned it in 1993 when I got a custom build. It dealt with cycle camping very well.
