Falcon Champion Du Monde

Jetter

Retro Newbie
I've recently purchased a vintage Falcon Champion Du Monde that I intend to restore. It was made in 1982/83 judging by the date stamp on the Rigida rims. Please can someone confirm that the tubing is Reynolds 531 (there isn't a sticker on the frame) and the make and type of derailleur that was originally fitted (it's missing).
 
Re:

I have a cycle magazine from 1982 that lists your bike as £120 when new. Gears are listed as shimano. At that price it would have been competing with bikes like the Raleigh Europa.

What makes you think the tubing is 531?
 
A quick 'Google' turns up mostly 'gas pipe' Falcon's so I'm with Southcoast on this one
