Three Suns on a cloudy day...

[Spokesmann]

My three Worksop built Sun bikes from 1962, '65 and '68. The green Snipe Plus is very original, save for tyres, tape etc, the Chris Barber '10' (a recent rebuild) has been kept as original as possible, finally the flam orange Snipe Prestige was rebuilt from a frame and forks only, mostly using parts from a Corsa. It originally had 10-speed Beneux gearing. Im rather fond of the (Carlton) Worksop built machines and will look for a Birmingham built Sun, maybe in the future.

These are bright and colourful machines and in my view every bit as good as the Carlton stablemates. It's a shame the marque was allowed to go to the dogs in the end.

You should really stop posting pics like this, I'm having a hard time wiping the saliva off the tablet fast enough.

Not seen so many beauties in one place since Carol Vorderman, Nigela and Stiflers Mom all fell in the same vat of Guinness.

well done they are really nice you certainly deserve credit and they are far better looking than any new bikes on sale today,they look so good you could hire them out to a bike shop for display or even to a tv show i could just see them lined up outside the bar in something like heartbeat.

You never need to ride them. Just put them in the garden and look at them. They are gorgeous.

Thank you, but all three are ridden regularly.
