Falcon Help

[fredstaple]

Can someone identify this Falcon, year and model. It has fancy chromed lugs, slopped fork, Campy drop outs, flattened wrap around seat stay. It has the red head tube paint and team blue on the rest. Double butted Reynolds and no fender mounts. I believe this all indicates a higher end San Remo Equipe or team replica.

I think Mandobob may have been looking for similar.

Much thanks.

It is probably 1972/73. Without its original components with dates on, it is difficult to be specific. The frame numbers can sometimes be of some help but there is no definitive factory record of frame numbers for Falcons. This frame is a little unusual in that it doesn't have the usual lugs which are long point. However I have seen other ones with these lugs which tend to be early 70s-ish.

P.S. It is definitely a model 76 San Remo Equipe.
