Hello

Not sure if this is the right section or if I am allowed to post this, but I have had this bike in the garage for years and years with very little use & while having a clear out I was wondering if it was worth anything? It is a British Eagle Vitus Tri-Sport, don't have much info apart from that I'm afraid.

Anyway, here are some pictures:

Thanks very much for any help

very nice and great colour scheme , yes its worth what ever you can get for it

not bad condition either

ideal for either a West Ham or Aston Villa supporter

I'm used to older British eagles .

Why not ride it again? Even if its just for a bit of fresh air . Beats walking to the pub lol

Handlebar stem looks a bit precarious.

Up here, (very nearly) Rangers, or even, supporting the French when England are playing them at Rugby!!

Seriously though, that is a nice looking bike. With a clean and polish up it'll be great, and as others have said, why don't you just ride it yourself??
