I'd really love to get my hands on a 70's Coventry Eagle Racer.

I had one as a kid in the 70's and you just couldn't get me off it. Now I'm zooming around London on a fix I find myself feeling the need to have one as a second bike - probably also a bit of a nostalgia trip?

Anybody got/seen/heard of a nice, preferably blue, one that's looking for a new owner?

My advice would be to ask Hilary Stone to keep and eye out for you (you'll find him on the forum) and to keep scouring eBay, hope you get lucky :)

It seems that Hilary Stone's alias has been deleted, but I found his site so I'll keep my eye on that and good old eBay.

Meanwhile, if anybody hears anything...

I have a metallic red, chipped up paintwork but lovey script on the branding so would defo keep as is.

Its around 56cm, nothing fancy in terms of tubing but it has heaps of charm.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
