There is later Coventry Eagle bike on eBay. Which could probably be regarded as a spiritual successor to the Falcon and Clements Super Pro’s. Made about the time that Barry Hoban was running the factory in Wales?

Could be non original forks as Reynolds label clearly says 531 forks yet forks are tange labeled ??

Same seller has a more recent and slightly smaller Woodrup frame in stainless - maybe a teensy bit too recent for this part of the forum(?), but very nice!

Is that the red one with polished lugs and the odd Viner Decal.? Stamped KS under the BB so one of Kevin Sayles finest :smile:?

While I understand it for cheap bikes, it surprises me that sellers of relatively expensive bikes aren't prepared to pack and ship them - insisting on local collection only greatly reduces their chance of a sale.

Carriage can add £30 to the selling price so makes it more expensive but yes it does open the market

Yes, and I also see plenty sold by auction rather than fixed price, or "make me an offer" - and even, say, a subsidized £20 shipping charge would surely attract higher bids.
