Townsend folder

[TrishY]

I bought this folder from the adtrader yesterday. The badge on the front says Townsend - I was just wondering if anyone could give me an idea how old it would be and info on the townsend company etc as I have googled townsend sterling and nothing comes up. The seller was selling it for his daughter in law so didn't know its history.

Townsend is a name used by Falcon. They list a couple of folders, neither of which are the model you have. Here is a link, maybe you can get in touch with them.

I have some photos of a classic Townsend Folder (http://www.flickr.com/photos/chop_and_his_crazy_world/sets/72157600379564540/) on my Flickr, if you send me some pics of yours, I'll add them to the set.

well I got a quick response but they couldn't help - oh well I will enjoy the bike anyway and look out for others:)

Dear Trish,

I am sorry to say that I have records dating back the last 10 years and can't find any information for you. Falcon Cycles have gone through some major changes over the last few years and a lot of my data has been lost.

Kind Regards,
