Falcon are still in existence but the Falcon Eddy Merckxs were a 1970s bike. Falcon's frames from this period were fairly basic - Shimano 500 was fairly typical of the kit fitted at the end of the period. It was typically fitted by them to 531 plain gauge frames of the period.

Were the Falcon made Eddy Merckx, in the early 70's, with the Triangular

Thanks for any info.
