Cheers Pickle. That made me laugh.

But what a turd, well done!

Now that is something

So very nicely done and in a colour that is just perfect for this bike, One of my fav restorations in a long time

Oh well done - that's very well judged: love the brake levers - what are they?

It's a decent, properly brazed uk frame made of great tubing: certainly no turd, and will put many factory-tigged yawns to shame.

Levers are Dia Compe.

Thanks for the comments.

Third time I've come back to this today, I love it! The colour is fantastic.

Fantastic job on the British Eagle. It's nice to see another one on this forum. I've had my 88/89 British Eagle from new

 

[Dead Rats]

Thanks folks.

It really is good to ride. I've been out on it everyday so far.
Need to sort the chain set out though, and I need a Shimano or Suntour 6 speed block. The gears are a bit crunchy at the minute.
