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 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!

TiRed, I rather like that.

Finally got a half decent photo...

Now got some 10sp 105 in the spares box to replace the 9sp Tiagra. Quite fancy replacing the frame with something nice from Kinesis though.

Huge fan of the old Trek geometry. Nice bike that.
