Can anybody help with the age of my Sun Worksop frame?

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

Brooks Proofide and elbow grease!

PS is that front lamp with the screw "on" switch a Pifco?

Yes it is. Thought it might look nice with the chrome forks. Ill probably plumb for the Svelto, cheap, cheerful and they always worked well.

Decided to use contrasting white ribbed outer cables. Try them out for size...

Like the Pro-Am in the background too

A very long term project, I don't seems to always have the enthusiasm for... :facepalm:

Ive been informed this may well be a Sun Snipe, making the frame earlier ie 60s as has been alluded to.

Mike,

I believe it is a Sun Snipe, there is one on ebay at the moment:

Yes, it looks more and more like it.

I need to get some decals for it so it has a name!

The earlier frame will suit suite the early 999 brakes then. Just need to find a stronglight single chainring now... or similar.

Declas ordered, the bike is now a Snipe!
