Sorry to bother you, but I've recently come accross a "Coventry Eagle" bike for sale local to me, which I plan to scoop up asap. I know that this company became part of Falcon Cycles in 1985, but that is about all I could find.
The bike in question is a lush green with 700c wheels with really nice decals. The seller says that the sticker regarding the type of steel is missing which is a bit of a bummer, but I would imagine 501 by the groupset attatched - having said that, I don't recognise the groupset at all, but it does strike me as similar to the average "custom" stuff which was banged out on many a british bike back in the day. Hopefully I will be collecting this bike soon!
I've attatched photos from the seller's description.
Thanks
edit: In the title I am refering to boffins of old bikes, rather bike boffins who are old!
