Falcon racer

RaymondoRaleigh

Retro Newbie
Hi, picked up this Falcon for very modest money. Has a Reynolds 501 double butted frame, Weinman brakes. Mixture of rear derailleur is 105 with Exage 300 on front which are probable not original. Anybody any idea what model and year this is. Guessing in and around 1992-94 based on the lettering being uppercase.

I am not familiar with the bike, but for modest money you did well, methinks.

It doesn't look at all bad as-is, but if you like the way it rides there is also some development potential.

I like the long-ish rear triangle. With some decent 28mm tyres and set of mudguards it might actually make a very nice light tourer.
