because he's a cycling DON? Hand filing your own name into the head lugs AND cranks for your personal track bike?... H.R.Morris was the man - hence the extortionate amount of money that will likely change hands in a couple of days for a fairly plain, dented frame. Its sad that his shop output wasn't as nice as his more special efforts..

definitely worth taking apart/cleaning up/re-assembling what you can, looks to be from before falcon descended into gas-pipe shite merchants...though cant be sure, completely going on how much better it looks to have been that the later Falcon's I've come across (paintwork,lug shape etc)...
fixed/free hubs aren't uncommon, though I suppose you dont see a 5-speed block on them.. I have the racelites with that set up currently.

Right, another ressurection on a tired subject, and one likely to outline me as a moron, but...
Im putting a beater together, falcon black diamond frame (lulz) and the headset I've got is made up of different bits, the cups fit the frame nicely, but when I try and thread on the top race, it goes on a few cm really easily, then suddenly wont budge... inspection showed a slight squashing of threads at one point, so I filed them out (with an old engineer neighbour) but to no use... tried forcing the threads past the burr, but it seems to be squashing the threads on the steerer past that point... almost as if the race size was wrong, but only aster a couple of cm...
is this me needing a 1 1/8 headset? I dont know the date of the frame, presume its 70s/80s, which would imply 1" steerer, so im confused. are there any sizes below 1" that the upper race could be, that I've unwittingly picked up?
help?
