First Vintage Bike
On this weekends ride, Cuda2K spotted a garage sale with some bikes. He already posted about these bikes in the found thread. Long story short, I ended up with a Falcon Europa. Today after work I moved the wheels off of my Trek 1200 over to the Falcon, matched up the measurements off of my Trek, adjusted saddle height, position and angle, and adjusted stem height. Took her for a short ride around the block and I am surprised by how nice the ride is and how well the bike fits.
It has Shimano Light Action shifter, a Shimano 105 RD, Sach Huret FD, Weinmann 570 TOP brakes, Strong Light crank. Cannot find any serial numbers, but did find what appears to be the number 94 on the bottom bracket where the drive side chain stay meets the BB. Since I cannot find any markings, I am guessing on the size but seems to be a 58 or 59 CM
I have attached a few pictures, any input on year model, etc. is greatly appreciated.
