Sun 1969 as it is now

[Bozdoonican]

Here is the sorry state of the Sun today ( having been stored in garage to garage in various house moves over the years )
Hopefully I will be able to post more happy photos throughout its restoration - I have already sourced the original Simples Derailleurs
Just need those GB brake levers !!

 

[Bozdoonican]

Stripped down and ready for frame renovation !

 

[Bozdoonican]

Managed to source the correct NOS GB levers - well chuffed - but don’t tell the wife what I paid for them !!!

I’m in for this one! Right up my street.

 

[Bozdoonican]

Who said men can’t multitask ?? - preparing supper and the original Milremo bars coming up a treat ! 😜
Do I need Counselling ? - please tell me this is perfectly normal behaviour .....

 

[Bozdoonican]

Sun rebuild complete !!
Really pleased with the result and restored back to ‘out of factory ‘ spec.
look forward to riding it out on gentle Sunday morning rides...and going to try to make L’Eroica Brittania on it

Smart, I can see the slot on the Milremo stem, a bit scary!!

 

[Bozdoonican]

Cheers ! - plenty down there on the stem but thanks for the heads up - wouldn’t be a good outcome !!
