British Eagle 531 project. Almost finished...

Nice to see a few more.

XCDave- You'd be better of getting this one repaired wouldn't you? It's done you proud thus far.

Think the cost of getting a new headtube and bb shell welded in would be more than the bike cost new! Plus the cost of a new coat of the wishy-washy lilac and yellow paint job.
Have thought about it though, maybe I'll save up...

I reckon if you were to forgo the lilac and yellow paint, have it powder coated, you could get it done for about £150

The Eagle has landed.

I need to change the pedals, build up a triple chainset, fit grips when they arrive, source M700 front and rear mechs. Other than that it's just about finished. Rides a treat.

Proper old school and disarmingly beautiful! Well done indeed.
