Languishing in the shed has been the 1986 Welsh rarebit British Eagle.

Some parts put aside for it and some chance car-boot purchases has lead to this rather gorgeous creation.

Not quite era specific but heck, why not give it a bit of bling?

Super rare/ unloved/ unknown/ delete as appropriate Reynolds 531 'Club Sport' road tubing with 501 forks, Sugino chainset , 42/34/23t rings, Mountain LX mechs, 125mm UN71 BB, NOS DNP Epoch 7spd shifters, HG70 cassette, Araya/ Exage wheels, Kona bars, lovely Saracen stem, Frogleggs and here it is...

Its quick! Proper zingy acceleration, not the dead weight of the usual atb/ mtb offerings of 1986.

Its giving old Harry a run for his money

That looks real nice and glad you changed the saddle and tyres as the black just looked out of place imo ..
