I'm looking to try and identify the year this bike was built. Currently struggling to add photo's. [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ibxeW.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ibxeW.jpg)
I will try and add some more in a minute. The frame number of the bike is 14246

Many thanks
Wesley

Adding information to Criggie's accurate answer.

This is not the same bike but it is an Olympic and the style of decal matches your bike.  

Your frame has the wrap around stays and this one does not.

I don't view an ebay post as authoritative. The add says it's a 1980 - that's possible - but it's also possible that it's more like early 80s as opposed to exactly 1980.

I'm still searching for a catalog or something more authoritative.

Falccon continued to make high class bikes into the early 80s, the Olympic was a good alternative to something like a Dawes Galaxy - but rode even better, ime.

The one in the pic looks very well used - look at the teeth on the chainrings.
