British Steel

Here’s my 93 British eagle shadow with the “new for 93” Lx group, and a 531 frame and fork.

Needs a black stem and black bar/grips and a new seat, bike recently bought of eBay £75

I had this bike back in feb 93, some great memories, nothing flash just all about the memories.

got sold a Nigel dean bike today but couldn’t seem to find this exact color/model/501 frame online

Does anyone know how to identify this?

It has Suntour gear set, brakes are Weinmanns, think it’s a standard for ND bikes, but wonder if the frame is legit as zi can’t find any 501

It has a 72 near the headtube, really small numbers. I can’t find any numbers anywhere else.

The seat has a time stamp 85 on the underside as well, guess it’s made in 1985?

This is my go to wet dream thread

I wish I could own so many of these bikes or at least have a museum full of this stuff.

Some of mine I don't think I have put here.....
