I appreciate those that voted on what model of bicycle I have...which I believe to be a
'34 Falcon although the stainless steel fenders aren't displayed or listed in the '34 Sears seasonal catalogue Ivo passed along to me.
Special thanks to the scout who brought this estate sale gem out of Atlanta to my attention and freqman for delivering it to me safely at MLC this past Spring.
This one took a while to get together as I have a '36 (Strucel) restored Blackhawk that reluctantly received the best parts to be consistent with the fresh paint.
The bike took a lot of abuse over the hot summers and the paint melted/bubbled in placess, typically on the underside and I had to carefully knock down the high spots and removed the oxidation on the good areas to all be consistent in patina. It took time working with the paint and polishing the fenders.
I did correctly upgrade the triple steps with an early Mussleman hub, saddle, heavy duty Allstate tires, light, grips, and original red paint wildcat horn I won at Copake.
Not in top condition, but its what I got after some near misses on other Falcons/Blackhawk in the past and it came at the right price, especially after selling the HD dropstand that was mysteriously added to it.
