Hello Van and thank you for sharing this cycle.

1971 was the final year for this generation of the bicycle's Atom model 440 pedal so the bicycle is unlikely to be later

the Campagnolo Valentino gear ensemble launched about 1968 so that brackets a date in the other direction

the original wheelset was likely comprised of Normandy Sport large flange alloy quick release hubs paired with Weinmann alloy wired rims of size 27 X 1 1/4

level appears to be one up from the base

it is possible the frame may have a three-tube Reynolds 531 plain gauge tube set
there appears to be the residue of a frame tubing transfer at the top of the seat tube facing forward; it may have indicated such a tubeset

do not think it could be higher

it is an honest and worthwhile product - well worth doing a mechanical service on it

the Falcon marque evolved from an earlier entity called the Coventry Eagle
