Something Interesting Re: Sunshine Bicycles
Last year I picked up this Mystery 1954 Club bike.
Although it appears to be British, it has a Made in Canada
sticker...
The bike has a Gold Metal badge which is not correct...
The Sturmry Archer hub is dated 1954
Reviewing this forum recently, I came across a 1954 Sunshine catalogue and found this:
I'd always thought of Sunshines as balloon style bikes but I think this Club bike is in fact a Sunshine.
More than likely assembled here w/ British supplied parts.
Hello It possibly looks lIke SCP Bike
Thanks Greg
Nice detective work Greg(gster). It certainly has the same chainring, and pedals too by the look of it. Does it have my name on it (Reynolds)? If I had known it was a Sunshine I would have bought it when I had the chance. I have a Sunshine badge available if you're interested.
No. No Reynolds decal but as stated mostly british parts
Philips pedals, Bayley Wiley BB, Tru-Well front forks etc.
Rims are EA1 (not marked)
I'm hesitant to remove the incorrect Gold medal headbage as
it's rivetted on.
Also has an attached hanger on rear stay for a Cyclo or other early dreailleur.
CCM was also producing a 3 speed Club but I would imagine a CCM chain ring.
SCP?
Perhaps
Similar colour scheme and headset...
nice bike, is the down tube gold decal a decal or a sticker?
CCM did have the same model, I own all 4 types of club races from CCM (Cyco 3 speed, 3 speed, flip-flop, 1 speed) 1950-1952, and it does look similar to CCM but still many differences
the bracket on your bike is not the bracket for the Cyco 3 speed derailler, my guess...a bike stand
Thanks for all the help.
Appears to be a decal on the downtube.
It does have some random 60's model kit decals
as well, flames numbers etc.
I saw an earlier post here with a SCP bicycle that
also had Tru-well forks and a Bayliss Wiley BB.
I quite like these Club Bikes. I restored a nice Humber 3 speed last year.
Happy New Year!
