Re: British Eagle Volcanic

I'm looking for any pics of a BE Volcanic like the one attached only in black with white triangle decals and a pink fork. Has anyone got an old catalogue or snaps of one?

Re:

I checked my '92 catalogue and nothing similar, it looks like it's older than that?

Re:

Thanks for checking. I'm guessing they were out around 1990.i had one in 92 but it may have been old stock when I had it.

Took a bit longer than planned, waited for the warmer weather before painting and had delayed delivery on a couple of parts.
Almost 28 years to the day since I bought it, my "new" British Eagle gravel bike
Great experience from a learning perspective. Recycled as much as I could along the way.

Slow going on the respray, I waited until we had some nice weather and with lockdown have some spare time. I'm hoping with all the extra time I got all the rust off.

First and second coats of primer are done.

Found the original brochure complete with prices. It has 531 tubing.
Here’s the 2 pages of K series and the full specs from the back page.

Hi, love the bike just restoring mine as we speak. That table of specs, does it say what the standard size wheel is for the k1 400? It’s blurry for me. TIA
