Freecycle: White Falcon Beater frame
Posted by
@bobbycutters
I bought this a while back for my first build. I learned a l lot during that process:
there's no way I could be comfy on a tiny frame like this, how to spot a frame that's clearly bent, how to spot a rattle can paint job, etc etc.
Anyway I built it, rode it twice then took it apart. I didn't pay that much for it and since I now know the problems with it, it only seems fair to give it away for free.
Seat tube - 53cm ctc
Top tube - 56cm ctc
Both top tube and down tube are bent (see pic) as if it's had a head on collision at some point.
Forks seem straight though.
Rear spacing - 117mm (the right dropout has been bent in by an ill fitting hub I guess. Could be rectified with some gentle persuasion)
Front spacing - 95mm
I'll include the headset that was on it when I got it. It's missing a lockring but when secured tight enough seems to work alright. See pic.
When I got it it had clearly just been given a new rattle can paint job and looked all shiny and white but if you look at it funny it chips..... a lot.
It rode fine for a shit frame but it's biggest problem was that my toeclips would catch the front wheel when turning corners (not great, to say the least). I set it up with 27" wheels and 170mm cranks.
Collection from N16. If anyone wants it Dibs followed by PM please. I want it gone quick but I'm working nights everyday this week so preference goes to the first dibs that can pick up by 5pm this week, otherwise I'm about Fri/Sat.
Cheers.
NB. Only frame forks and headset on offer.
