Thomas, I happen to catch your reference to a Coventry Eagle bicycle in your collection. I thought it might interest you that I own a 1954 Coventry Eagle Examplar touring bike. My father gave it to me when I turned 14. I am in the process of restoring it. It's a beautiful bike with very ornate frame lugs. It has a Chater Lea crank set and a 5-speed Cyclo Benelux rear derailler. One item I'm having difficulty with is finding a source for a replica set of decals. I wondered if you had any suggestions?

currently riding a late 60's robin hood in amazing condition! I also have a triumph that got caught in the snow last year that needs lots of love.

Yes, post some pics. There are quite a few Robin Hood riders in this group, Jen. I just brought home a 1962-1965 Robin Hood Lenton Sports and I have a 1970 Lenton Sports I've had since new.
You lucky, lucky bastard! Smashing ride! Do check out Sheldon Brown's fantastic 3speed site (esp. linx all the way at the bottom of the page) if the Superb poses any mechanical mysteries!

I bought two 1969 Raleigh Superbe's at a garage sale today. Both have bodged cotter crank repairs that need to be sorted but aside from that... very clean. This is a great new hobby.
My British steed is both a Hercules and a Royal Scotsman...


It has a functional 3 spd now and soon to came are a rear brake, chain guard and paint...

Stylishly riding a 77" Raleigh sports and bringing a 70" Schwinn Collegiate 5spd back to life and coming down with the dreaded Bike Aquisition Syndrome bad.
Gasp!!!!! The rumoured 23" frame. Good find, Sam. Schwinn is pretty neat, too.
