I picked up a Coventry Eagle Bicycle a few months ago with hopes of converting it to a fixed gear. It has the awesome Coventry Eagle headbadge on it. I know that these bicycles were at one point considered top of the line bikes, but then they were bought by Falcon bicycles and the Eagle was apparently dropped into a lower level than the other falcon bikes. Mine has the great head badge, but the lugging on the frame seems different than other coventry eagles i've found online. For instance the top stay wraps around the seat tube on the ones i've found, but on mine they are welded on the side. Also on the down tube there are some strange little 90 degree pipes that come out and look like a cable would've have gone through them. The bike has Sugino Maxy Cranks, a "Palace" (made in Japan) bike seat, Atom (made if France) Hubs, and a Perfect freewheel by Maeda Industries (which I have found is Suntour). It also has HP Sport Schwinn tires, but I think those might not be original. I want to know if anyone can tell me when my bike was made and if it is high quality and worthy of a nice fixed gear conversion. Also was wondering if anyone knew if this is a 531 reynolds steel frame. Anything you could tell me would be helpful. Thanks!!
