British Eagle yay or Nay

This is just down the road from me and not a lot of money.

Question is...is it a good BE (Newtown) or a bad BE (Falcon)?

I could whack a set of renthals on it and blast it down the hill by hadleigh castle

any thoughts around how you might get it back up the hill or just hide it in the bushes near the train track and nonchalantly walk away?

Probably some form medievil winch system in keeping with the castle backdrop

Kinda half drawbridge / half uplift sorta thing

I’m in the @Guinessisgoodforyou camp of “selling” bikes before buying anymore

I'd love it, but I'm falling over bikes. I have bikes everywhere so I have to cull sadly.

Even though it's way too small for me, there is something tempting about it. £30 for something with a 531 frame is a bargain. If it was my size I think I would have bought it by now, as it is I'll make sure I'm cycling along the bottom track of the downs regularly waiting for the day you come flying down the hill with the canti brakes honking like a goose
