looks like a bit of a hybrid, bits of everything off there, still i'd say its worth a punt at around the £60 mark, if you break it you'll get that back easy

I'm with Greg, that's a Falcon Pro.


In fact you can still see the rivet where the falcon badge was on the headtube.

I'd say the Forks are proper Tange ARX due to the welds :daumenhoch:
Possible SR Seat Clamp / Shimano DX Peds ? ? / DC MX1000/900 / Diamond Back - Sugino 3PC & Chainring
Tyres look decent. You might also get lucky with the Stem / Bars / Levers (Tech III's) / Fluted Post / Seat / Headset / Locknut

I'd say with a bit of elbow grease you'll more than make your money back on a part out without the frame and wheels :daumenhoch:

As in the topic in Chat,

it's a falcon Pro frame. You can still see the rivet of the Falcon badge on the headtube.


Greg Motomag also has those forks on one of his Falcon builds.

certainly not Skyway Tuffs, my mate had some of those copies BITD and cut the reflector tabs off... think he still has them in his garage... as Andy says, its looks like a falcon frame.
