3 speed Falcon GT any good?
I saw the bike on Craigslist for $80 .I think its worth it for the 3 speed hub alone. Does anyone
own one ?

The SA AW hubs are bullet proof. However any 3 speed hub with a coaster brake is questionable. SA's variants such as the TCW and the Shimano 333 (3SC) do not have a good reputation.
