    British Eagle Pro-Carbon project

    i remember someone i used to work with back in the early 90's having one of those bikes. i definitely liked it for sure. i think that the shop we worked at sold them (roses ironmongers in devizes) hence him having one. at the time i had a 92 marin eldridge grade so couldn't complain.
