Charles,
Glad to see the British mystery has found a good home.
Just as a side note, I now have everything I need to get the Raleigh together, so there should be some progress there in the next week or so.

Falcon info
Here is some historic info on Falcon. While the company per se was not called Falcon until 1970, there were bicycles badged as Falcon previous to that.

[QUOTE=Charles Wahl;6238880] Same story with the little chainstay bridge right behind the BB -- I don't know what kind of fixture might have been installed there that has flattened the bottom side of it. But I'm very far from complaining.
The squashed-down chainstay bridge is the result of overtightening of the kickstand that originally came with this bike, which was prone to getting loose and swiveling into the path of the pedal and crank arm while in the "up" position.

Thanks to everyone. I plan to clean the frame up and take photos, maybe this weekend; unless weather's good for actual riding! I may start another thread to bore you all with progress on the restoration/repaint/build, which is going to be fairly slow, since what I have now, appropriate-component-wise, is near bubkes.
