I only just noticed the sun rings! Good to see them. It doesn’t look like it hard much use at all judging by them. If I do sell the Mr Patate I’ll let you know, doubt I’ll ever put it on the bike…
The 24T inner ring seen a fair bit of action, and the 38T middle ring too. 48T looks new.
Didn't see much mountain action in the Cheshire planes I reckon.


Thanks for sharing all of this, especially the paper work. It's gold and was a surprise to see. West Street I know, but there was never a bike shop there as I remember in my time.
If ever you did convert this to a rigid you will struggle to buy the Sunn Cro-Mo straight blade fork (rare as hell). An alternative is a curved Spinner with a 405mm a-c is spot on, but a Kona P2 410mm a-c will work too for this. Sunn were rather advanced in ditching cantilever, 1" forks and doing their in house suspension forks. I am very fond of this brand in part because they managed to contribute massively to reverse a dire situation concerning the French bike industry just prior.
Those Crossmax look top notch with no chipping in the ceramic
