Great tribute Greg

Keep an eye on ebay.com for chrome steel CMC rims , or the wheels lower end Pro Star's used to have were steel with a plastic kinda red or blue coating . Strip the coloured coating and sorted

bit of update i was getting this sorted from memory but my mum has found a couple pics and sent them on to me .i have had to get another frame asit was different to the one in the first pic although the parts and colour were identical .my memory was close considering it was 27 ish years ago lol

hi greg, fair play for doing a bike in your bro's honour. i was about to say that i have the exact same model but in blue. "falcon pro alpha" but i just saw the different frame so i guess its not the same bike. i had a one off set of stickers made for a very similar falcon pro kappa. the graphics were the same except the alpha/kappa bit. if you need i'll send you the art work. i have a few falcon pro's and none have that slotted gusset. are you sure it's not something else with a falcon pro padset on it? if you still have the original one in the first pics i'll buy it off you if you dont need it.

motomagII · « **Reply #24 on:** November 10, 2009, 09:03 PM »

no its def falcon pro i remember it ,was just slightly out on detail.i know someone with complete one now too under different name so they were random frames used for few bike names made by akisu .i seriously need arwork for the beta part on downtube cant get that nowhere
check my for sale for the original frame and forks which is alpha one ,but was also sold as beta at some point ?
