Sunbeam Bicycle Help Needed in Identification

[oldschoolstreak]

Found this number on it, there`s another one on the bottom bracket but it`s difficult to make out ..

A lovely bike

BSA Sunbeam and the 'D' prefix on the frame number makes it more mid 50s.

I have the 30s catalogues, but not sure about later I'll check tonight and maybe find the model

Not the same hubs but they did tend to use up what they had in stock.

We can now see that it's a BSA, I have never seen rear ends like it.
My best guess would be mid 1950s. I think the BSA "dynohub" was 1954.
BSA did use odd components towards the end.

Forgot, the handlebars are far too high, the rod brake adjustment at the front has 2 vertical nuts, the rods are locked by a coil spring inside each nut, very neat BSA fitting. Just undo about 2 turns.
The Sturmey archer gear trigger has the wrong spacing for a BSA hub, but might be better than nothing. The hub gear will probably slip in high gear anyway.
