Similar models were made unser the Sun, Falcon and I believe Viking badges at the time. Higher in the range than the OP's frame the original post was about, but they all ride well.
Oldpeddaller...Just found my post?? Is there another Oldpeddaller?
She has been all stripped down and getting prepped for paint. Decals have been ordered. I was lucky enough to find the original owner who bought the Bike in he "thinks" 1971. According to him it originally had an all Campy Group. Sadly all that is left of the Campy is the Shifters. But the Suntour V Gt drivetrain that is on it now if not heavy works flawlessly. So I am probably going to leave it as is. As the price of Vintage Campy is in a word Stupid. I made up some Mavic open pro 700c rims with Suntour Sprint Hubs that work well with the Weinmann Brakes. I will keep you posted.[h=1][/h]
