Rather nice that, frame looks to be a Raleigh built one with the thimbles in the form crown. Dont see too many Sun bikes. I ultimately wouldn't mind a Worksop built model in my stable.
The only things Raleigh on this one are the RSW16 type front forks & the wheels (all shipped in from Raleigh Nottingham) The frame is a "Carlton Cycles" one took straight off the line (it has no frame number) The Guy who I got it off built it on His dinner break & used it for transport to & from work till 1981 cost £15.00p employee discount it then went into the garden shed.

It's a fine looking machine!
Great to see more shots. What type are those brake lever hoods? I have a similar logo on my GB synchrons, although the brakes look like the Weinmann 730s.
Brake hoods are "Altenburger" as are the brakes front/back (Weinmann 730s clones)

That makes sense as the Synchrons were badge engineered GB brakes made by Alternburger.
