I am currently looking into a swap of bikes. I have a Rossin Record approximately 1982, full Campa Nuovo Record group in good riding condition, but its a 56 and thus just to small for me. A friend has a assumed Falcon San Remo size 58 from the early seventies. Maybe 72ish. The bike has mostly Campa Nuovo Record group except some period correct Universal brakes. The Falcon is a restoration project on wheels, it has been hand painted with a brush sometime in the past, but some of the original decals are still present, my pal had some miles on it this summer meaning the mechanics isn't that bad. The present redish colour is not correct for a San Remo, and as now there is no trace of chrome fork or head lugs therefor I start wondering if its a Olympic 78 that came in a red/bronze colour according to a catalogue I found on the net. The Falcon is a one owner bike before my friend got it earlier this year. But the original owner is in the late eighties and does not remember much about the bike other than he bought it in the early seventies, and used it for amateur old boys races for many years.
Anyway some cash will go may in deal as my Rossin is in very good condition.
As I don't know anything about the Falcons, is there any particular identification I shall look for? Anything that separates the San Remo from other cheaper models?
