[The left page of a two-page spread. A side view of the San Remo fills the middle: a lightweight road bicycle with a leather saddle, drop handlebars with brake levers and bar tape, a water bottle on the down tube, mudguards with stays, a five-sprocket freewheel with a rear derailleur and a single chainwheel. The word Falcon is written along the down tube. A shaded bar stands under the wheels. At the foot, The ALL NEW stands over a dark scroll lettered The LIGHTWEIGHT CYCLE and the word Falcon in large brush script, with SAN REMO under it; a smaller Falcon signature stands at the lower left.]

Here at last is the ‘San Remo’ Falcon. The cycle that has taken me three years to prepare, design and develop; eighteen months to test and prove. I was determined not to tell you about it until it was perfect.
Result: The model that you will most want to own during 1960—a cycle that will be noticed by your pals; a cycle that will be discussed and talked about wherever club boys meet; a cycle with the Continental line but with true British reliability. This cycle is really exciting—exciting to ride—exciting to look at. A cycle that gives you more good looks, more riding pleasure than any in its class. It is a cycle that I have developed and built for the sheer joy of cycling.
My most exciting Lightweight Cycle.
