What year is my Claud Butler Oracle?

I recently purchased a Claud Butler Oracle from EBay and was wondering if anyone can help me identify the age of it.

Does anyone know the year of my bike?

Ah that takes me back. I had the exact same bike. Bought mine in 1998 and am pretty sure it was new for that year. Hope that helps

Thanks mate. I filled in the contact form on Falcon's website and a lady emailed me back saying it was from 2003? Does that sound about right?

Hmmm not sure how long they made that model for but I def had mine in 98 as I had a nasty accident on her and broke my collar bone (so bad I had to have a metal plate and a bone graft from my hip!) I remember it so well as it was the year I left school

I filled in the contact details on Falcons website and a very helpful woman called Kelly helped me identify the bike from some pictures I sent her. The bike was made in 1998 and she sent me a scan of the bike in the 1998 catalogue. I will post the picture from the catalogue ASAP.
