The one in / one out rule at Stupido towers means I have to sell at least one bike. I've also got a bike box taking up space so happy to post (£33.99 via Paisley Freight) or you can collect from me in South Devon.
First up is a British Eagle Summit in single speed flavour. This is a quality, handbuilt 531 frame, seat tube 19" C-T, top tube 22" C-C, mostly LX bits, and comes complete with plenty of fresh grease and bearings, plus nearly new chain, cables, etc. It's geared low and spinny to get you up hills and is super fun to ride, like an overgrown BMX really. It's also pretty light, 11.4kg according to my scales.
I've tweaked this for sale since the original build and it's now for sale at a bargainous £100 which includes decent wheels (LX hubs, black Alesa rims) and some unworn albeit slightly cracked vintage CST amber wall knobbly tyres. No pedals, but I can probably find something if you're stuck. Deserves a nicer saddle but hey ho.
Frame had lots of surface rust when I bought it, but it's solid and I have treated and touched in the rust. It's scruffy up close but looks good from a distance. Build thread below:
