Twins

Submitted by ivebeenfixed on 12/14/2009.

I just got mine.

I was given an Email for a guy who worked for Ernie and now works at Gita I am going to contact him for info on trying to read the serial numbers to date the bike. I will pass on the info if you like.

Excuse the wheelset on mine right now. proper set to come soon. I had to take it complete. It was either those or some goofy deep vs with stars on them.

Really nicely The spoke

Submitted by ProjectChud on 10/07/2008.

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.

Veloflex Record

Submitted by Splined on 05/14/2011.

Try Veloflex record tubs. 140 grams and very fast. Or if you can find any, some Pirelli silks or even Clement silk track tubs.

kindest regards

Barton Upon Humber

Submitted by Chainwheel on 03/12/2008.

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

Submitted by ProjectChud on 03/13/2008.

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.

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