1970's Coventry Eagle Project For The Missus!

Looking good! And a present like this will surely get some extra boyfriend points...

I certainly hope so pete ha!

Got the frame back from the powdercoater's today.. So heres a really crap picture.

It's a match to this...

will get some proper photos tomorrow with a proper camera!

Nice looking build, good choice of colour, bit feminine without being too girly. Re decals these chaps are the definitive supplier:

Cheers Russell, started building it back up this morning. The wheels aren't staying on, I've got another set on the way, these are just from my Dolan as a tester.

Bars need chopping down and are going to be wrapped/gripped. Seatpost and saddle are on the way then its just a case of fine tuning and getting that chainline right!

Looking good. Black headset maybe?

Cheers, the lady loves bling!

Like all lady's haha ;d What wheels are going on?

Bars have been chopped. just needs saddle, new pedels/straps. and bars wrapping/grips

What bars are they?

Just the System EX one's from ebay, chopped down a considerable amount!

Been looking for something similar. My current risers are a bit shallow

Looks great so far.

Is that steerer on the forks straight?

Thanks, and yeah It's sat perfect, I thought that looking at the pictures but its fine.

Had to take it to a bike shop to fit the headset.

It's come a long way in a short period of time, bike is not practically done. Just need to wrap the bars, got some better pedals and straps to go on and ordered a new seatpost.

Considering it's a 40 year old bike, that was a piece of shit. It's come a long way and now rides better and smoother than my Dolan track!

Gave her the bike as a very early birthday present yesterday as it was nice weather and went for a little ride.

nice bike, love the colour!

You let your girl ride brakeless :O!?

Nice bike though ;d

haha thanks!

She's rode mine before quite abit so she can stop without brakes, just mines a little to big for her. I am going to be putting a front brake on it this week for longer rides :)

Just needs a few more bits and it'll be perfect! Love it! :)
