(1) First, the only bike I knew for sure was Falck was a fine beast.
Seamless, and with a Falck symbol on the tube set (upper end of down tube). It was,
if I recall correctly, an oval like Columbus, with a sort of outline/hollow T
emblem that actually looked more like a 3-lobed Roots blower impeller (if you
follow that trivia!).

Harvey-
I am going to pass up most of your email posting to add that I too have seen
this decal you are referring to, but interestingly enough on two very
different beasts (1) a Mid-60s OLMO and (2) an early 80s ICS, which i believe is Swiss
made. I was especially surprised by the later observation because i din't
know that Falck was still around in the early 80s and more so, it was an
exquisitely chromed frame, a treatment i assumed was only done to "high-end" tubing.
Pardon my assumption here, but I gather that Falck tubing was not considered a
"high-end" tubing. Then again, i have no idea if it is chrome-moly, carbon
manganese, etc.
