I have for sale a very nice 80's British Eagle MTB frame, forks and with a new headset.

Pickup from London E11.

The Frame is Reynolds 531 ATB tubing and it's from the early days of British Eagle where the stuff was hand made in the UK before it was outsourced overseas and the quality went downhill (pun intended) quicklyly.
It's been powder coated in black it's straight, all threads are fine and comes with new unused m-part pro threaded 1". https://www.tredz.co.uk/.M-Part-Elite-1-inch-Threaded-Headset_45205.htm

Frame has nice lugs, crimped/shaped chainstays and long dropouts on the rear.

The forks are replacements which are uncut and still need to be cut down.
I could do this for you and leave a spacer or two.

I tried to sell this last year and bumped it down a couple of times to £45 so let's start there again.

It's really nice frame and it's not been built up since powder coating, I just have too many bikes and not enough time to tinker to ride.

I could also dig out some parts as I'm a hoarder, bars, mechs wheels etc.

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.
