Rare British Eagle Touristique (tourer)
Description
So we have a beautiful 1980/90's? Tourer from British Eagle, the crown of their range.
Its got a full 105 group set, apart from a new chain and cassette, which i changed to mtb one for a bit more range around bristol.
The wheels are lovely 105s with mavic rims, they are butter - seriously run smoother than my roadie.
Bit of rust in places, hopefully shown in pictures, but to be expected of a bike of this age.
Its a lovely ride, the only reason why i'm selling it as it is just to small for me (I'm 6'2) for longer rides. It would suit someone below 6 foot, i'd call it a medium. Can measure if people want. The frame is '531 touring' a special blend Reynolds did a while back.
I've a rack for it as well, but too it off as was using with child seat.
Great for around town, but would be an amazing project to respray and turn into a retro tourer.
Open to offers, I paid 250 for it this time last year but need it gone quick - bargin. Tempted to strip it but seems a shame to loose all the history.
