I need to free up some space in my house and let go of some dreams which are basically never going to happen. A few threads will pop up in the next few days. Namely a Diamant EL complete bike (May split), Raleigh Randonneur (I think) frameset, campag record/racing T 8s group/parts, and this little gem.
British Eagle Touristique touring bike.
56cm seat tube c-t. 55cm top tube c-c.
GB randonneur bars (42cm c-c on the drops) and GB stem (110mm) both in great condition and can fetch a pretty penny themselves.
Stronglight 100lx crankset 170mm 48/36
Dinnerplate rear freewheel.
Suntour indexed gear levers (Needs a bit of fine tuning, are currently just running as friction.) Suntour accushift front and rear mech.
Shimano brake levers with gum hoods in really good condition. Shimano V brakes.
h/f Maillard hubs on Rigida rims.
Specialized infinity 700 x 32 tyres in great condition.
I've toured on a similar but lower touring specific bike and had no problems tackling anything that was thrown at me (Gravel paths, Alpe D'huez, torrential rain and muddy campsites.)
I was hoping to do the same on this but it's not likely to happen in the forseeable future.
With a tiny bit of love (Tuning indexed gears - super easy, I just can't be bothered. Replacing bar tape - optional. Upgrading saddle.) this would be a perfect touring bike, but is equally ready to go as is.
I also have some basic (But brand new) black pannier bags I can chuck in.
£245 all in. SOLDSOLDSOLD
Bike is based in SE14. I am working nightshifts all this week so viewing is welcomed between 12:00 - 17:00 Monday, or 15:00-20:00 Tues/Weds/Thurs.
It is lovely but it's one of those space/money problems.
Price drop >>>>> £245 and SOLDSOLDSOLD
To someone who will take it on an adventure.

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
> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
