Hi,
I've got an old Sun Bike.
The frame has the original Seat Tube with 'Sun Cycle and Fittings, Birmingham' but the the octagonal headset means it was made as part of Raleigh manufactured 1960 to 1963 (but with Sun still at Birmingham and not Worksop, which tends to be after 1963).
It has a Transfer over the Head Tube badge, but the Head Tube has 2 vertical holes where the Badge used to be (i.e. Sun Frame Head Badges are fitted from vertical Head ‘holes’ whereas Carlton Frame Head Badges had horizontal 'holes').
The Frame has Capella Lugs, Wrapover Seat Lugs, a Centre Rear Brake Bridge and Chromed Forks (similar to Carlton Frames of similar age). The BB Frame No is 3008515 and the left rear fork has W1025.
What is it? (Sun? in Birmingham?) and when made? (something 1960 - 63) or something later?
Regards On Old Man...............
