Hi,

Would appreciate your help in identifying/dating a Falcon frame picked up on ebay some time ago. Here're the original ebay pics:

The stickers on the seat tube and forks say "Guaranteed built with Reynolds 531 butted tubes, forks and stays", the dropouts are stamped Gipiemme, the BB has a "RGF" and a serial no stamped on it. The Falcon head badge is not a real badge but a sticker. Overall the workmanship seems pretty nice to me - but I am not an expert... I think it is a pretty late model (early 90ies maybe?) but I would like to get a better idea which year. Also, any other info on this frame would be appreciated even though I'm afraid that would be off topic - but until I do know the year I can ask, right? :)

Thank you.
