Hi gang, I just picked up this Falcon Pro. frameset,

and am hoping some other Falcon owners can help me determine the date of manufacture, and suggest proper(period) components for it. This frame uses recessed type brake mounts, clamp-on shifters and front deraileur, 120mm(5spd) rear spacing, under BB cable guides, and the short Camp. rear dropouts. Reynolds label says "531 fork blades & stays & butted frame tubes". Anyone know when these were made?? I'm guessing around '80, but who knows? Thanks for any help here, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
