Re: Re:

Chaps,
Have a close look at the decals.. up until 1970, I seem to recall, the decals were Italic script but then they changed to the fashionable at the time block printing. Additionally at about this time, Weinmann Centre Pull pretty much replaced side pull as being the popular spec. I think the machine is early 70s.. and sorry to disappoint but I am pretty sure it is not a Chris Barber team replica frame. The chainset was standard on the lower end of the range.
Happy restoring... HLloyd has some of the decals.

Thanks for the info, i am assuming it is this one:
SUN "Snipe Plus" d/t decal in distinctive script. White with black edge.
Ill give them a call and see wwhat they can do.

Do we know if some of the black panelling was painted (why do i have chequered decalling? Later addition?). Im looking to have the bike resprayed in Flamboyant Red, if i can find a paint code and someone decent to do it in surrey. Need to figure out if its plain white and black paint too though.

Thanks again.

Bare it mind paint and decals could be changed . Makers reserve the right to make some changes without notice.
