Probably Campagnolo Victory. Though, I've not seen a 531P like that. Most late '80s Falcons with Victory I've seen are 531C. The next level up was called the Team Equipe, I believe, and those I've seen had a nice mix of Mavic components.

Bikes: 1980s Falcon Victory

That would have been my guess too from everything I've seen. But I didn't know whether it was available as frame only or if it only came as a completed bike. And since I didn't buy it from the start, I don't know either way for sure.
this is a 531 Professional sticker right?


I didn't see any stickers saying anything else except the 531 forks stickers.

Show your Falcon: This movie starts out with a Falcon



"Show your Falcon." In 1969, Polish film director Jerzy Skolimowski and his cameraman Charlie Steinberger showed a red Falcon in the opening credits of their 1970 release "Deep End".
This film inspired me to purchase a Falcon. It took me 12 years to find a decent one.

YouTube link to the "Deep End" opening credits:

Thanks. A 7.1 on IMDb says it's well worth a look. Free here: https://www.effedupmovies.com/deep-end-1970/
