1953 Sun Manxman build

[Spokesmann]

A build I finished just recently, centred around a very fine 1953 Sun Manxman frameset. A mix of old and modern parts. Running a 12-speed set up with Huret mechs and Stronglight 99 chainset. Been ironing out some little niggles over the last few weeks. Just about there I feel. The stiff 531 frame is a joy to ride.

Love the colour and it looks original paint judging by the patina .
It's nice when you realise a bike has hit the sweet spot and no more adjustments are required other than for maintenance.
Enjoy it @Spokesmann

A very eye catching machine you have there.
