I bought a bike from a company called Beacon, serial #8250083 under the bottom bracket. Anyone know anything about them? I'm in the process of rebuilding it. The frame is at a shop since the seat post and bottom bracket are frozen.

Looks like an English make 3speed, a good find! I would say either a Royce Union or Raleigh, but i'm leaning toward the Royce Union. Doesn't look like a Phillips. I had a 67' Western Flyer 3speed that was English built and matched a Royce Union the most. There oughta be a date stamped on the rear hub if it is a Sturmey Archer hub, even if its a single speed. Clean bike!
It's only a single speed for now. I got some Schwinn wheels that will be thrown on to make it a 3 speed. The guys at the shop said it much be an older English bike as well.
edit:
Did some more searching and finally dug deep enough to find out that it's a Beacon Coronet, late 70s'/early 80s
