Title: Frame ID please?
Post by: firebird4130 on August 10, 2008, 10:17 PM

Does anyone know if this is a meteorlite or not, I don't know much about them but just liked it, I've seen some other similar frames so not sure. I haven't recieved it yet so I can't get serial numbers.
Cheers,
Fraz

 :) Looks a lot like a Meteorlite.One way to tell is if it has a coaster brake anchor then it`s a Meteorlite.If not,then it`s a Falcon Pro.Also most Falcons had a nasty metal seat clamp often also with a blob of MIG weld???

 :) Should have said,other than the coaster anchor,really seems to be no other difference at all.Maybe not a valuable iconic frame,but I think they look pretty neat!

yeah that's just what I wanted something to look good and not cost the earth, missed having a twin top tube freestyler to ride around on after getting rid of my firebird. I want to put some double cross bar handlebars of some sort on it too.
Cheers for the info  :daumenhoch:
