Falcon Pro Beta 24
Jon The Bassist:
Seriously it is exactly like an early 80s BMX but slightly bigger, ie very slack steering angle etc. My dad had a stock one BitD and it was a terrible ride but mainly cos of the heavy, poor parts. Our current one has profile cranks, nice sealed wheels etc etc and rides pretty well, it was competitive in club racing at Bradford with the other Old Skoolers and cruiser dads. This pic from BaldBMXer's Twenty24 magazine, me with the pink T-shirt in the main shot and yellow/blue jacket in the picture in top right:

Awesome pic, and thanks for the lowdown regarding the ride, I'm mainly building it as a cruiser for those few and far between sunny days...I've been looking online for some wheels but not much joy yet. I've got a bear trap headset coming, mx1000 rear brake, viscount seat and some ame grips. Thanks again mate 8)
