    BSA Equipe - Trying to find more info....

    Re: BSA Eclipse - Trying to find more info.... Yes, bike has definitely had a front-end shunt. Forks are bent at the steerer. Going to see if I can bend them back. If not, it'll end up in the skip! Just curious about this "Eclipse" model: can't find any reference to it anywhere!
