Title: Coventry Eagle Mamba / Tange hot heart frame photos needed !!!!
Post by: ronpeterson on January 30, 2015, 03:56 PM

I'm looking to do a full restoration on a Coventry Eagle Mamba, there is no reference material around to go by, I have even gone as far as contacting and speaking to the Director of Tandem Group, who took over the name from Falcon Cycles in the 90's, they have no data what so ever, so my ask today is for absolutely any information on the original specifications, and photos especially of the decals and pad set.   I could have just stripped it and made yet another hot heart, but I would like to restore this bit of British history to its former glory.

Thanks in advance

My girlfriend told me about the Coventry eagle bmx ,, I sort of dismissed this , until one came up on eBay recently , but could not afford it at the time , so they do exists as she rembembers them from back in the day

I'm sure these look exactly like a Tange hot heart (heart stamped gusset) usually painted white but seem to remember thru pic's I saw ages ago that the welding is not as good? do a search on here there used to be quite a few pic's before photobucket went berserk  ???
