1997 British Eagle Unknown Model

Picked this up earlier from a nice retired chap, an eBay auction win.
I originally intended to strip it for parts but after collecting it I think I’ll keep it as it is although I think I’ll replace the tyres with something narrower (they’re 2.1).
He also gave me the original handbook from when he bought it!
He explained that the frame has never had decals? and the bike was built up from the frame: LY60401297.
It’s 17” to the top of the top tube.
Funnily enough he had it regularly serviced by my LBS.
Here’s some pics:

Yours is in much better shape, but I'm pretty sure the frames are identical.

Haven't got the figures to hand, but the bare frame is pretty light - lighter than my Coyote HT5 if I remember right.
