Hi everyone
Picked up this very interesting bike today from a local elderly gentleman.
I have known about this bike for quite sometime but couldn't find the time to go and view until now.
Clearly from the photos that it is a Sun Manxman
What i would like is some information and history
The elderly gentleman was given the bike by his father when he was younger
This is the frame number from rear Lh dropout: RMV-4452
Tubing is Reynolds-531
Components: Benelux Front and Rear mechs/Gear shift Levers
GB Sport Brake Calipers and Levers
Wheels do not look original (Thoughts please)
Bluemells Lightweight Mudguards
He is still looking for the original Saddle Brooks i assume
All original paint/decals etc
I would be very grateful for your comments and guidance for renovating
Regards
Malc
PS. Gentleman has asked me to take the bike back to show him when completed renovation (Bless)
as part of agreement to sell it to me.
