Falcon bicycle 22 1/2 inch in Reynolds 531 frame

 This 22 1/2 Falcon in Reynolds 531 tubing is from the 1990's 

The frame has a few knocks and scratches to the paintwork as expected for its age, it is still in good working order having been constructed from strong lightweight 531 tubing.

The bike has the following spec:

700 x 28 Wheels with Schwalbe tyres, new tubes

New Stronglight chainwheel 

Shimano 7 speed Hill friendly gearing new rear cog 

New rear pannier carrier 

New saddle and seat pin

New chain 












Lightweight Reynolds 653 Frame replica Holdsworth

This 24 inch lightweight Reynolds 653 frame was hand-built in 1990 by the late Mike Logan who built frames for Bob Griffin and Dave Mellor. The frame was stored and unused until this year when it was finally sprayed and built up. 

Its painted in Metallic red and I have badged it as a replica Holdsworth.   

The bike comes with the following spec:

New 700 wheels with new Schwalbe tyres and new tubes 

Campagnolo chainset and bottom bracket 

New Shimano 105 rear derailler and front bar-shifter 

New 8 speed rear cog giving 16 gears in total 

New handlebars, grips and adjustable stem 

New Shimano RX100 brakes and cables

New Saddle and seat pin

Not a classic vintage bike . However - 

I built this bike on special request from a customer, who on my completion of the build - didn't want the bike - his loss and someone else's gain

The frame is in a striking Brushed Aluminium with a clear lacquered finish.

I built the bike as follows-
