I wouldnt have guessed Boss either ;D

When I got it off eBay (for only £15 with tange bigforks) it was sold as primed ready for paint but a quick go at it with some peek cleaner brought it up quite well, so I think I will keep it polished for a while, and call me a snob but ............ do you think a british eagle is a cool retro bike :?: , Dont you think I should just keep people guessing when they see her :?:

Any chance you could scan and post the article for me :?:

Why not. If you like it, it's cool.
I actually reckon it'd be pretty safe with a nice set of BOSS decals on it.

Here's my latest project. Not as 'chi-chi' as some but it's going to get used.

1995-ish bontager race.

Currently deciding what to built it up with. Thinking 8 speed XT and a few bontrager bits. Probably not the sort of frame which suits being draped in Ringle and other trickery.
As for forks will have to see. Either some hopped up Judy's or a butchered set of sids.

Bought a Vitus lugged aluminium frame with new Switchblades today. Finally something to put the purple Grafton canti's on

Are those Vitus frames considered a bit sturdy?
