Got my Hutch yesterday and this today.

I'm sure this is complete, please let me know otherwise.

Falcon pro cruiser, serial number 4206513 on one drop out and on the other drop out GO784.

It's chrome but someone has spray painted it black and couldn't be arsed to remove the pads when they did it. The black spray is falling off, my kids are doing it now.

Your thoughts on this pile of whatever please

Something different i suppose

Cheers Dom, my Hutch, well half of it is there. Sadly the forks seem to be missing. Nice set of silver Araya 7X's on it though, will polish up a treat in the right hands.

sweet find mate
tell us the story ?

Basically i was collecting Mail from business on a local industrial estate and saw it up against a fence, was looking at it when the kiddy came around the corner. A quick chat revealed his own BMX was knackered so his dad bought him this from the local dump for a tenner. I offered to buy it for £20 and he said OK but when his own bike was fixed.

Six weeks later, it's still there every day and his bikes not fixed, reckons he was going to get a new F+F instead, i offered him a swap. That for my sons knackered bright yellow Ruption BMX. I fixed the Ruption up and give it a good going over and today we swapped.
As it was my sons old bike i gave him, my son has taken to this big style and is demanding its his and wants to do all the work on it. Cant argue with that really and he can probably teach me something or two. He's only 13yrs old.

Funnily enough, the guy has resprayed it really badly but he works for a powder coaters

cool story, funny that, i just donated a bright yellow ruption bmx to my sisters boyfriend . hes over the moon with it. lol

feels good to make people happy, bet the kid was chuffed tho bits with his new bmx.
cant blame your lad for wanting to get involved, mine are 7 and 4 and they want to help me all the time

Reckons it was too small

I said it's cause you've riding a cruiser around for the past few months, you'll get use to it.

Apparently it's Reece's project Phil, he's still out in the garden now removing black spray.

Parents bought it from Argos (I think)

Ask Dibly, he's Falcon Pro mad!!!

Mr Dibbly has already replied mate and said it was a falcon Pro epsilon.

Personally i've never heard of it and i've goggled aswell now, still no joy with info or pictures.

thats a winner of a find dude, il get the pics of the decals off soon man, it seems like its complete spec, apart from the stem and bars...it should have V bars and the stem has to be a horse shoe shape stem also the tyres should be red tread tioga comp 3 type tread with gum wall sides and red rims and hubs...its a good job you got the rear hub man coz they are a bugger to find the grips are also red,

I could do with the measurements of the pads etc il trade you pics of the decals for pics of the pads please mate

Frosty · « **Reply #19 on:** June 20, 2008, 02:23 PM »

Heh Moley that's the same as me.

Me and my best mate ended up getting the Theta's for Christmas one year then pee'd off the parents by taking the decals off straight away

.

We couldn't afford a pot to pee in back then so a catalogue bike it was and to be honest it wasn't all bad once the parts had started to be swapped out and upgraded.

Same as mate, got my theta for Crimbo from a local bike shop, them were the dayz

Cruiser looks like a good project, nice shape, not too low slung like modern ones

Give me 5 mins Mr Dibly and i'll do them

Frosty · « **Reply #22 on:** June 20, 2008, 03:01 PM »

I have a NOS set of the pads in white with red lettering if anyone is interested

southern andy · « **Reply #23 on:** June 20, 2008, 03:15 PM »

The pads size them Dibly are

Frame pad = 300mm long X 180mm wide

Bar pad = 300mm long X 140mm wide.

The tyres on my sons are Kenda Comp 3, i reckon they are well over 20yrs old mate, the rims are chrome with CNC etched inside them.
The pedals have a four leaf clover sort of emblem on the outside of them.

??

What it's looking like at the moment.....
