Thanks for the info. I worked for Cliff Pratt Cycles in Hull and Billy Holmes was our friendly Falcon rep. He got me my Falcon San Remo Equipe road frame which I still have and also the team track frame which I sadly don't
Billy used to bring all sorts of things to the shop but I never remember any Columbus frames, mind you 1982 was just after my time so even Billy might never have seen them.
When you were in charge where there still a bunch of ladies making the higher end frames
Cheers
Shaun

Around 1982 Falcon were making the Super Pro model. The frame sticker and the brochure say the tubing was Cr Mo. Do you know what make of tubing they were using?

It was Billy that rang me up, whilst I was in hospital nursing a broken leg, to offer me a job at Falcon.
And yes, the majority of the workers in the frame shop were female and they were generally superior to the lads at brazing
