It was quite common to see Zeus components on other than the shift system, as a cost concession. I have high confidence that the Zeus headset and seat post are OEM as I've seen them on other Falcon of this era and level. . Brakesets during this era was typically centre-pull, except on the Model 76. They were typically Weinmann but I have seen Zeus. I suspect the brakes were changed, simply to hop onto the side-pull trend, at a reasonable price. Falcon did start specifying Sugino cranksets on some models, post boom, but I suspect this is another replacement, along with the wheelset and, of course, the pedals..
thanks for the info! Seatpost is indeed 27.0 and the wheelset 100% was replaced at some point, judging by the price stickers from the old school price gun, sometime in the 80’s
