Sentimental Falcon...

[Bendix]

Built a 70's Falcon for a customer the other day. Said the ol' bike had sentimental value and wanted the frame built up with some gold components. The brake reach was on the long side even with 27" wheels so hand brakes with 700c was out, and instead of fixed we went coaster brake...


Here's the pile of bike I started with...

Built up the wheelset while I waited for some other parts to show up, original front hub, Shimano coaster brake rear...

Parts pics...

Neat original stem and graphics...

The finished bike. Nice riding cruiser...
