1960s/70s Falcon design by Ernie Clements

Harrybelafonte

I can't find much details about this bike tbh. Bought it and it's too big for me.

Measures 56ctc TT and 59 CTC ST

Would need a restoration, but I think it'd come out really nicely.

Tange tubing and braze-ons for guards, panniers.

€50

For a moment I thought that was the same as my very first racing bike. Me and a mate worked in Stillorgan cycles in the '70's and we both got 531 Ernie Clements Falcon race frames. We built them up with shimano 600 and kidded ourselves that they were the same as the Falcon Pro bikes ( ala Pat McQuaid). Only had mine a few months when I got a chance at a Bob Jackson, so the Falcon had to go. A young fella got it and next time I saw it it had bullhorn handlebars :eek:
The '70's - you had to be there....

Any sign of the stem?

Yes, I can through a stem and bars in if you need them. The headset would need replacing though.

Wouldn't be sure I'd trust my mechanical skills to replace the headset!

Ah, it's simple enough, but like I said above, it's a full resto job so a bit of mechanical know how might be necessary.
