Lovely detail, thanks for posting, I saw another thread about the lugs and dropouts on other frames of the period and wondered whether it was possible to identify these

The dropouts are incredibly thin. I wish they were a little more exotic but this will have been an affordable bike at the time. I note the falcon catalogues of the era also mention these parts, which seems odd today given the obsession with ever more technical groupsets.

took this for a chilly ride this a.m. probably the last time it will go out this year at least
