68sun

Retro Newbie
Can anyone help me idetify this Sun bike, 22 1/2 inch frame, 27 x 1 1/4 wheels wrap over at seat post, symetric brakes, huret svelto 2nd series gear change, original colour was white, GB steering stem with rounded rear section. Number on frame NM4217954. will post pics when i am able.
 
Yes looked at that one but colour is wrong as they do not list white, also steering stem is different, also looked at details of Stanga, Strada, Squadara, but only the Stanga was available in white.
 
According to wiki your frame should have been made in Nottingham September 1974.Could be.
I think these low end raleigh/Carlton/Suns all had the cheap hollow wrapover seat stays.
I have suggested on the other thread that these bikes were priced about the same as the base model of the dreadful raleigh chopper.
Soon get you up to 5 posts.
 
Wrong again, it seems that some of the Sun (raleighs) did not have the cheap hollow wrapover, but seat stays brazed to the seat lug with a top plate, rather like the standard raleigh.
