I'm thinking of doing a re build of an old cheap 60s bike. I'm looking at a very basic Sun frame on Ebay.
I have access to engineering and powder coating facilities which will keep cost down.
I'm also not worried about exact parts, more about the sort of kit that have been found on a bike like the Sun in the mid sixties.
I'm assuming it would have run 27" wheels, centre pulls and 5 or 10 speed?
I'm also guessing getting hold of period shifting or any 5 speed stuff will be quite difficult? So I'll probably run a freewheel.
Any good ideas.
