FALCON 753 BANANA TEAM FRAME

[Mandobob]

Would I be treading on yer toes if I suggested that this frame was built elsewhere? To be fair it wasn’t unusual for team riders to select independent builders and the resultant frame to be sprayed up as a sponsors bike. I would say this looks like a Donohue frame. Any other thoughts?

Not at all. In 1983/84 the Falcon team bikes were actually built by Paul Washington at Brian Rourke's. In late 1984, 1985 and 1986 the team bikes were built by Terry Dolan (formerly of Harry Quinn, later of Cougar and later again Dolan Cycles). I have a 1984 Falcon, built with Reynolds 531 Professional built by Terry Dolan and ordered by Doug Sollars, who was National Sales Manager and Team director 1983 - 86. So there's plenty of examples of this. You could also be right about the builder.
