Hi Gartherarth, Welcome to BikeForums!

Your General Sprite looks to be low end, what with the cottered cranks. What are the components on the bike?

General is a cheapo bike, yeah. Likely has Falcon dérailleurs, etc. It was a brand made for companies like Woolworth, as well as other odd outlets like Farm and Fleet.

Aha!

Yes, there are little falcons on the shifters!
