I bought this falcon from Hilary Stone a month ago, as a bike that I would leave at a station and use to commute on, however I since discovered that I can mountain bike to my new work place so this bike is not needed.
I've made a few changes to it, the front wheel and brake where a bit rubbish, so I put better ones on, and I changed the brake levers for new ones as well as changing the handlebars and put new tryes on.
This is what Hilary said about it
FALCON OLYMPIC ROAD BIKE Reynolds 531
Seat Tube (ctt): 22.5in (57cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22.5in (57cm)
This is a Falcon Olympic road bike from the 1970s is built from Reynolds 531 tubing. The paint is quite poor condition but the frame and parts are very sound - it has aluminium rimmed wheels which are in very good condition and Shimano gears. Everything seems to be running quite nicely. A bargain at £88.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
