My Falcon San Remo (1963). The background is sort of relevant!

Beautiful! Is it 1963? It looks like it with the round tubed wrap around seat cluster detail and chromed head lugs. If so, the decals are the 1970s type. In 1963 the Falcon name would be letters on the frame paint background, in a different font. The white band was later.

Hi Bob, it is a 1963 - with the round wraparound seat stays (it's actually 2 tubes brazed at the top, not a single tube with a u bend). The white panel is original (it's a repaint but to the original pattern), and the decals are as close to the 1963 as I could get. Here's a pic of the original frame as I think H Lloyd got the decals pretty close.
