Can anyone identify this bike? Falcon of some sort.

[Joseph Jessop]

Hi all, this is my new (yet old) bike that I bought off a neighbour for just three bottles of ale! Not a bad deal at all. However, neither I nor the seller knows what model of Falcon it is, and I would appreciate it if someone can give me a hand as to what it might be before I begin my restoration. If anymore images are needed, feel free to ask.

Later Falcon than my era (1970's) so don't recognise the model. Are those the cranks that have a freewheel mechanism in them ?

Here is a link to my flickr that i just set up with a load of photos of my bike. However i cannot take anymore photographs because the paint is only on half of the bike as I am getting it resprayed in the new year.

Hard to say I have just looked at some early catalogues but can't see that model listed however I am sure as said I have seen it before on ebay listed as an Olympic.

Great bike well done, love the old Falcons
