amazing bike

thanks for posting, those wood rims are awesome.
your set up is perfect

how are your wooden rims

how are your wooden rims working out for you?

Really nicely The spoke

Really nicely
The spoke tension is perfect and they haven't gone so much as a mm out of true. I need to get better tires though because for some reason I cheaped out and bought some vittorias, when I should have splurged on some Dugasts instead.

Barton Upon Humber

I grew up next door virtually to the factory in Barton Upon Humber and one of my first competition bikes was a road version of this bike. So much nostalgia. Loved it and the color scheme. Lovely steel bike.

I love the higher end

I love the higher end Falcons and the older Coventry Eagles. Everything about them seems very regal to me, but unlike Hetchins or some other U.K. companies they manage to pull it off in simplicity. It could also be that Ernie Clements was not unlike royalty in the world of cycling.

Royalty

You hit it on the nail. I loved my San Remo Road bike.
