BSA Sunbeam frame number

[middleworldbiker]

Hello,

I just came across this 24" wheel Sunbeam and I wonder if anyone can help me to identify what year and model it is.

Frame number is "3374 SA". Both hubs as well as the stem/handlebar are BSA.

Cheers,
Diego

It looks like a Raleigh, so after the demise of BSA, probably 1956 to 58.
Note 26 TPI head and bottom bracket threads.

Thanks for your advice Keith!

There are no Sir Raleigh stamps, all BSA so maybe it was built at the beginnings of Raleigh takeover as you say.

Anyone who knows where to search by frame number?

very unlikely to identify by frame number. It could have been made by one of Raleigh overseas factories. Some made frames, others just assembled what they were sent.
The brakes are pure Raleigh.
