Title: falcon pro any info would be of help
Post by: skippyg on October 09, 2013, 07:39 PM: hi there ,

I have just bought a falcon pro beta frame and forks off ebay

here it is

(http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag22/skipinthepub/falconpro_zpsad6cba1f.jpg) (http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/skipinthepub/media/falconpro_zpsad6cba1f.jpg.html)

just wanted any info on these,as I cant find much and I sure cant find a picture of one in this colour either red or black is all I can find
im not sure if its just a POS and not worth restoring,or just slap some cheap parts on it and just use it as a rider,or do a full restore strip down,paint and build up
any help will be most welcome

regards
skip

sure its worth restoring, if not for you you bet for someone else :daumenhoch:

if I do restore it (which I think I will) I think ill do it with skyways on it,but it will have to get in line as ive got my streetbeat to put together,then followed by my gt dyno I bought

I think I mght be getting addicted to buying bmx frames :LolLolLolLol:

:slayer: but thanks again

...but he's not registered back, says Andy, who has/had a similar pro on his to do list few months back (->http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,164075.msg1639929.html#msg1639929)
...he might know a bit bout the bike

...as does Terry about the wheels..? (->http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,162867.msg1627130.html#msg1627130) ....once yer Pro has progressed in the production line & incase you change your mind about the Tuffs ...Just drop em a line

...and drop US one, if you manage to date the bike ;) (...serial# might help here, too)

edit: ...and yours is a beta :crazy2: , guess its an '81/'82 as no trace of a beta in 1983/84 any more
