haha yeah headtube gusset is very much like a falcon but on the bmxmuseum the 1984 Falcon Pro Aero Flyer 24 is not a loop tail and the Falcon Pro Beta 24 looptails do not have drilled rear dropouts, there are 4 examples but only 2 are loopys ?? .. and your right seems ammaco did not make a 24  :)

My falcon pro beta 24 is looptail but has, as you say undrilled dropouts?? Also mine has a round rear brake bridge, forks are different too - so the only facolny bit is the gusset  :-\

Hi Steve

Akisu made, team released Peugeot cruiser from 84 or 5. A few have surfaced over the years here and there.
Some had a Lion badge riveted to the headtube and a CPX xxxxx serial number under the BB.

ahh cheers ... its not a bad looking frame ... that particular one is in mid-eastern france via leboncoin for 100 euros .. saw a red steel hub tuff on there too for 15 euros - but was an orphan single front i think
