Re:

Revell Bikes were sold through the Freewheel catalogue which I think was Madison cycles mail order division long before the internet ,dont know if they were available anywhere else? I had the catalogues until fairly recently for 1984 and 1985.I dont know how long you had the bike ? If you do some googling there is a virtually identical bike ( possibly and probably same bike with some component changes ) on another forum from 2015 . Revells range was the `Romany` a quality tourer , the `Ritmo`, a mid range sports bike and the `Rapide` a mid range racer or available as framesets only. I would post the link but not sure if you are allowed to link to other bike forums?

Re:

Most likely the Ritmo as the Romany had cantilever mounts.......

 

[legrandefromage]

give the top and down tube a thorough going over as it looks a bit bent. Could just be the wonky mudguard and a n optical illusion from the camera lens

Re:

It looks like an unbelievable 80 degree head angle.
Can't see the bend though.
