Falcon Scorpio (?) 1987
Taken guards off to straighten and clean, will be put back on soon as I find some new tyres for it.
Proper melting pot of parts... sr crank, malliard hubs, rigida Chromix rims, huret shifters, Big S altus rear mech, weinmann brakes.
No bottle cage mounts, yup its for short winter duties!
Money spent to date £26
Only joking ,my winter bike is still in bits
apart from your winter chainset looking quite out of place

Only the frame, brake levers and cranks are original. Low end steel with carbon monocoque forks (and mudguard eyelets!), handbuilt wheels and SKS P35 mudguards. Sub 10 kilos as shown, and 9.5 kilos when stripped down with summer Ritchey WCS forks. Three rear lights including a fenderbot, and a Cateye Strada on the front. Summer: 42x15, winter 42x16.
The ride is sublime. I'd like to replace the steel frame with Ti, but it would only be a pound lighter and ride the same!
Huge fan of the old Trek geometry. Nice bike that.
