<< I recently picked up an Eddy Merckx frameset, built and distributed by Falcon of England. I know it was probably fabricated in the early 70s- My questions are as follows: 1. Does anyone have any other info on these frames? 2. What componentry did these come with?
This bike is going to be a great companion to my '71 Falcon. Any info will be greatly appreciated. >>
Chuck: I sold these bikes in 1972-73 when I first got into the bike business as a Vietnam vet turned grad student. There was a whole line of Falcon-made Eddys, from a bolt on wheel basic $100.00 bike, to mid range 3 tubes 531, Simplex/Weinmann models, to full Campy equipped pro models. So you will have to figure out which frame set you have to decide how it might have been equipped...
