  • I have a 70s Coventry Eagle 531 butted touring frame. It's really nice, the headbadge (same as yours) is gorgeous, the cable guides over the bottom bracket are really neat, and it has little fleur-de-lys lugs over the bottle cage mounts and pump brackets. Mine was £45 IIRC.

    I haven't yet built it into a bike (although I'll hopefully be doing some light touring on it by the end of the summer), but when I do I plan on doing some old fashioned signwriting on the downtube, in the same style as this Coventry Eagle fuel tank

    I also live in Coventry during the week so living within spitting distance of the old factory kinda attracted me to the frame too.
