I would go with the Brooks with the oval embossed badge more in keeping with the bike.
I had one of these Sunbeams with to missing chain stay .Does anyone know why it was built like this? .
Is it a "Sporting Sunbeam" model? or the "Light weight tourist"?
Have you seen this web site for Sunbeam bicycles. https://sunbeammuseum.wordpress.com/wel ... le-museum/
Thanks for that. It confirms it as a 1937 silver light tourist. I’m basing this on the introduction of the little light oil bath chain guard that was only introduced that year.

I would say that you should get a chain and grips on it and get it into RBotM as there is still a day to go but alas I think a theme month that's coming may well suite it better
