I have a really nice Coventry Eagle bicycle that I picked up a few months ago. I took off all of the worn out decals and painted over it, but now I am trying to figure out when it is from, what kind of steel was used on it, and if it is worth building up as a fixed gear. It has the classic coventry eagle headbadge, however a lot of the lugged design on the frame is different than the few other coventry eagles i've found online. I know that those bicycles at one time were considered top of the line bikes, equipped with all campy gear and used for racing. The one i have has a lugged design and is equipped with Sugino Maxy cranks. I'm not sure if I can give anymore useful information than that. Anything you can tell me would be helpful.
The bicycle seat is some brand named "Palace" and it says that it was made in Japan
