Dads Sun Bike

[tommo22]

Im restoring my Dads old Sun Bike.Its a Sun Wasp,He bought it new in 1958,It was yellow but not sure of the shade?Frame been sand blasted,made a new gear cable support brazed on.Painted this week,will have a look on the net at bikes for correct colour.I think its a 'CHAMPION DU MONDE'
as looked at some on the net frames are the same with all the pump lugs and gear changes in the same place.
Keep posted how its going.
