Can anybody help with the age of my Sun Worksop frame?
- Thread starter negaultra7
- Start date
This is a gorgeous frameset, typical of the era. Look forward to see this being built up. Never tire of seeing nice old English frames like this. If it were me I wouldn;'t even restore that I' dclean it up and leave it just as it is - bags of character.
Just an update on this, the frame has now joined my collections and will be built up soon into a nice rideable bike.

The frame is now in my workshop. Im mulling over what parts to fit to the machine, but want to keep it of the period as much as possible.
I've repacked the BB shell with fresh grease so far! Trying out parts, will need to see whats in my 'store'... The rame is 21" and has been said earlier is nicely painted out in contrasting flam orange and green...

. . . . . . . me too !
I'm surprised that a 1970s frame would have an oil port and no rear derailleur hanger . . . surely, such features suggest a bike that would be at least 10 years older ?
Wont need to use the oil hole now as the BB shell is packed with fresh teflon grease! ANy further info welcomed though.
Some pictures of some progress. Cant make my mind up whether to use a old Huret of Campag Nuovo Gran Sport I have kicking around...
Just trying out bits for now...

Great to see the bike being built up, i especially like the Brooks seat, what do you use on it to get that shine?
