I am intending to restore a lovely old Falcon model 76 Team Equipe frameset from the later period of this top-of-the-range bike (71-73).
I have another complete bike in the usual Falcon racing blue with white/red decals and chrome forks/rear ends.
For this reason, i'd like to restore the other frameset to the alternative colour scheme mentioned in the Falcon catalogue for this period...which is red/black.
The trouble is i've never seen one in this colour scheme and neither can i find any photos of one anywhere on the internet!
Does anyone have any idea about what this colour scheme looked like? is it red or black (and chrome?) or is it red AND black? Does anyone know what shade of red? Metallic/Solid? What the decals looked like for this colour option? Which areas were red or black?
The frameset is currently in a mid metallic red with the usual full chrome forks and part chrome rear stays. I'm sure this red is not original and is no help to me.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks... Mark
