New old bike...

[Valentino Mossy]

After owning mtb's for a while and breaking the odd collarbone doing silly stuff, i've decided to scratch an itch i've always wanted to do... get myself an old road bike.
Spotted a Falcon Rapier road bike quite close and going really cheap which needed tidying up and making it road worthy.
Done the bearings, brakes, gone over it all, done the cables,pedals,bar tape, etc...
Bought it as well for the nice wheels, but noticed no matter how much i tried, the chain was catching.
Turned out the last owner did the cassette but not change the chain to suit.. Changed the chain and no problems at all now, except for the last 2 high gears. The derailleur will not shift on to the last two even with the stops right out.
Dont fancy changing the derailleur so im quite happy to live with 8 on the back instead of 10... But in a way im glad as if i manually put the derailleur right at the top, it connects with the wheel.
So maybe get rid of the last two and space it ???

Got more polishing out of the rust spots, and somehow find someone who can do replica graphics for it. Took it for its first ride and wow ! Completely different to what im used to, but i love it already !

Does anyone have an idea of its age exactly as google is vague.
Also if i've made any mistakes, please let me know
