British Bikes / Re: any vintage sunbeam fans on here?
« on: June 08, 2015, 11:40:13 AM »
thanks
I have made up what I consider to be a representative tool kit but curiosity compels me to see what Sunbeam supplied.
Yes one make clubs seem to do well, but Sunbeam sites seem to pop up, get going and then die.
The Marston register has re-invented it self at least once, maybe twice to my knowledge; indeed the first words you read are "Welcome to the latest incarnation of the website ..." last item on it is from 2014, the  Sunbeam Sidevalve register is  definately dead. No posts since 2012.

Not knocking the folk who run these sites, but I find most posts on the rarer bike sites seem to be pop up posters looking for unobtanium spares, or how much is it worth...

I don't think Sunbeam ever did anything so ordinary as a parts list,  as for variation across the range...... they might all LOOK the same, but................
I'd like  to know what original kit is in your friends toolbags though Cardan please. Its same year as mine.


Failing all else I suspect I will end up stamping 'Sunbeam' on all the tools and then nickel plating them..........naughty eh?

British Bikes / any vintage sunbeam fans on here?
« on: June 07, 2015, 06:05:58 PM »
I have a 1929 Model 1 in more or less untouched condition,apart from the toolboxes which I have made.
I have a couple Sunbeam spanners but would like to know if anyone has a list of what tools were issued with Sunbeams of vintage era.
Can anyone help?
The Sunbeam sidevalve site seems to be dead, and the Marston site wants me to pay  £23 to register before I'm allowed into its forum. Having seen the fatality rate of Vintage sunbeam sites I'm not keen on that.

If anyone here is into Mobylettes, AV88 or 89 and earlier I have  a lot of spares for disposal. Need to clear as one lot

PM me if interested but PLEASE no messers or time-wasters.

They'll need to be collected.

I have been looking for many years for a prop stand for my 1938 Matchless, I finally found the stand now I need the footrest it attaches to.

readily recognisable by the lug on it.

a good price paid for one from anywhere
