Title: Coventry Eagle Frame ID with Photos
Post by: kiwiringy on March 07, 2012, 09:34:36 PM
Hi All

I have finally got round to getting some pictures onto this thing.  I have 2 frames with similar marking format but different numbers.  Looking from underneeth the format is:

FRAME 1

on the left side

 PATTERN No. 283777
 REQ DES No. 731168
 MAT No. 28321/31
 AT No. 2B3737/27

and on the right hand side is:

727410

these frames would have the gear leaver on the outside of the frame, where as the 3rd frame I have would have the gear knob coming through the frame.

Looking from underneeth, the frame ID on this one is:

on the left and is 330I7 I think.  Its quite hard to see. 

Non of the ID's match anything I have been able to find in books or on line.  If anyone could identify them it would be great.  there is quite a bit missing from the 3 bikes.  I have the engines (or 3 engines which came with the frames).  the tanks for all 3 are rounded (not the square edge type for soem of the models).  Again I can only assume that they are coventy eagle tanks.  Check my other listing today for the engines which might help identify things also.

Regards

Robin

Here's another Coventry Eagle which appears to have the same style tank and gear lever through the frame.
