Can't beat the price! Anybody familiar with these at all and whether they work fairly decent?

You could put that group (tongue in cheek) together for about $40 from Niagara.
The shifters are crap, I put some on a beater bike a few years back and it couldn't hold the tension from the rear derailleur unless I cranked it really tight but then it just became a single speed.
I put a sunrace freewheel on another bike, a bit weighty, but it worked ok.
No experience with the derailleurs, but they just look like steaming pantloads, urr, I mean they look cheaper than Shimano Tourney's.

You obviously have no experience with Falcon freewheels. Seized pawls, broken pawl springs, split cogs, stripped cog threads, bent and broken teeth, missing and broken spacers, no grease, bodies threaded off axis...
+1 to others comments. An equal or better combination can be assembled for less money.

I wish you guys wouldn't be so guarded in your comments, tiptoeing around the real issues here. Why don't you let me know what you really think about these parts and the asking price!!!!
Thanks for all the honest input!
