1983 Falcon Pro Aero Flyer
Cheap British Allrounder
This is the second bike I built/restored since getting back into BMXing a
year ago. I picked the frame and forks up realy cheaply of the bay in a
bad way after spending several years in someones back garden. These
were cheap to mid range bikes built in England in the 80's. Falcon has
been going for over 100 years and own several bike companies, with their
flagship one being Claude Butler. This would've been a more race based
allrounder but as I only had a frame and forks and loads of spares left
over from the MRD Badlander build, the bike ended up as a freestyler!
I
restored the frame myself and fixed all the damage on the wheels before
getting them powdered. I never intended it to end up so colour
co-ordinated but one thing led to another and you know how it goes! It
has certainly caused mixed opinions over here but I built it for fun and
she's light, quick and handles parks and street with ease and puts a
smile on my face every time I take her out. Job done! Hope you like
her.............
