I love the 1962 Sun, that's my favourite. I have a CB same year. You've inspired me to buy a Carradice saddlebag and some vintage lights!

My 1970 french bike for renovation. AMR are hard to find but it appears the frames were hand made and sold to bike shops who added there own label and parts and sold them.

Currently my oldest cycle, this is a 1933 Sun Wasp, 3-speed K series hub with internal drum brake, Resilion cantis up front. Weighing in at around 40lbs this is a lump to get going but rides very smoothly and is a solid, comfortable ride.
