Rare Old Bear
Retro Newbie
Hello,
I was hoping for a little help dating an old Sun Tandem frame that I'm currently getting back on the road. I've spent a fair bit of time trawling these forums, and the wider internet, with little luck, so any assistance would be appreciated.
It had a 'Sun' transfers on the frame and a transfer style head badge on the front with 'Sun Birmingham' which I understand dates it before the Raleigh takeover. There are two serial numbers on the rear left drop outs, which are 'T9' and '69473.' I've seen people on here date similar frames from the serial numbers, but I've not managed to work out how to decipher this one.
I'll try and upload a photo of the bike as it was when I got it. As you can see it's been pieced together with a fairly random collection of parts, and it's now stripped down to the frame on my kitchen floor.
Thanks again for any help.
