Now although it says San Remo in the title I'm not sure this one is.
This came as a bike with components that were way too modern for it so I had no clues there, it was black with immichrome panels but did have the San Remo decals on the rear stays and is of course a Falcon. As far as I can tell it's 531 throughout, it's very light for it's age, had 531 decals on it but also has Reynolds stamped into the steerer and has a 27.2 seat tube.
I know over the years there have been more variations of San Remo than I've got fingers and toes but here's where I'm not convinced about it being a San Remo and that's the lugs, as I've never seen a San Remo with these lugs on so if anyone does know if it is and if it's not what it is please let me know.
I was going to do a build thread but I'd already painted it, applied the decals and it was an afternoons work to assemble it yesterday so that went out of the window really, but I did take a couple of pictures as I went so these are below.
