Discussions on vintage bike builders and reproductions. / Re: Has anyone built an Eagle?

My dad, Gary Woodward, built 3 reproduction Eagles - 2 52” and 1 48”.  I rode the 52” for many years and on the 1976 Dearborn to Philadelphia Tour.  They are easily identified by modern self centering bearings on the big wheel.  Also the front weight is about 5 pounds too heavy... was good to help keep the little wheel down.  The ride was very close to an original.
