Hi
Other than the fact that there is one in Germany i cant find out more than they only make low end Halfords type bikes now, but thats obviously not the case with yours as its nice from what i can see and carbon bikes a normally pretty expensive. The one in Germany is for sale at 150E
After a bit more digging they are part of the Falcon bikes empire, you will know their premium brand Claud Butler best.

That looks like a rebadged SR Sakae frame. There was an all-aluminium one called the Litage with similar construction. The fork's pretty distinctive. Never seen one in real life, or indeed one branded British Eagle, but I expect they were sold under that name sometime. Early 90s if that's the original kit.

i remember that bike, nice.
ive had two British Eagles, both shadow's, the first had 400LX the second full deore lx, they made some ok bikes in the early nineties, reynolds 531 frames, some good components but they always saved money by spec'in crap stems / seatposts / bars / pedals.
sadly their brief flutter with mid range bikes went largly unoticed and most people only know them for cheap leisure tat.
