Bang on with that guess i reckon.

My falcon pro cruiser has the same rear drop outs with GO 784 on it if i remember and i'm sure i've seen the same frame in the museum under the falcons.

it's akisu made, i've had one before. they never seem to have decals. i think it was marketed under a couple of names. omebody told me what it was but i forget. Falcon sounds right. same gusset as an aero fox.

silverfox is looking likely to me, poor relation to the aerofox

exactly the same as my old falcon! except for fox sticker on headtube :-\
had same crank spider etc and an sr stem. think chainring was steel.
think the f+f were used by a few different manufacturers though. ;)

I had a Falcon pro Theta bitd too. It looks just like it and if I remember correctly it should be cro-mo main tubes too.

The reason they never have decals is because we all took them off so that you couldn't too easily tell it was from the Grattan catalogue ;D
