Another Mystery Falcon

[fredstaple]

Trying to identify this Falcon. Most of the paint was stripped with the exception of the head tube. It’s very similar to the Model 76, however it has the braze ons/ eyelets for fenders. The fork tips are chrome as are the seat and chain stay ends.

Any help identifying the year and model appreciated. Thanks.

It's a nice quality frame with Nerve. Pro lugs.
@jim haseltine might know the model.

Before my time working there but if I was going to put money on it, I'd say that it's a model 90 - especially if it has clearances for 27" wheels. Model 90 was available as a frameset only, had chrome forks and half rear end as standard.

Thanks Jim, did the Model 90 have a name as well as model number? Thanks fred

thanks for sharing this arrival with forum

bottom bracket shell appears to be Agrati "AM" pattern

Ernest employed a fair amount of Agrati frame bits on various Falcon models during his tenure, usually lugs and crowns

chainstays appear to be Reynolds rapier pattern (undimpled)

this is a very nice find!
