One rule is that you are limited to presenting only two photos in the RBotM thread itself, which I have been told is designed to encourage the opening of a separate thread that is dedicated to your particular bike that will facilitate consultation in the future. So I look forward to seeing a dedicated thread for your Titan.

This is my June entry

A 1963 Falcon San-Remo Equipe
Reynolds 531 Frame/forks
I purchased this some months ago from a gentleman in Nantwich Cheshire
He insists it is an actual 63 Falcon Team bike,maybe a training ride.
The components are all original to the team version.
Hope you enoy

Cipo (Malc)

Looks nice Malc - but I can't see a Team Bike having that chainset (or at least the Cyclotouriste rings) TBH. I would expect to see a TA Professional adaptor chainring set at least.

However, it looks in super condition. Is it a Campag Gran Sport front mech?

The Chainset is a Stronglight 49d (60s) i fitted these rings so i could ride it here in very hilly North wales
The front mech is the matchbox version

I don't blame you then for the rings! Very sensible precaution.

Not really any relevance but i've changed the bottle cages to a more older looking version on cage.
