Who on here is the CABE's Sunbeam expert?
There seems to be a lot of general information on the net, but no specifics or someone one can ask questions directly.

It's a lucky man who finds a decent Sunbeam here in the US.

Good project

According to serial no. this bike should be a 1931-1933...Found it on Craigslist, paid $75 bucks; need some part now, but not much as far as parts here on ebay.

Now If I can only get that ugly blue off this bike.

Looks like a Sunbeam with the full oil bath-style chain case. It looks like the oilbath is complete too, a big plus. I used Acetone and rubbing to get the house paint and overspray off my 1930s Hercules 3 speed.

UK ebay rather than US. The odds of finding Sunbeam parts on US ebay are very slim. If you can get it sent by Royal Mail small packet service, the shipping is usually reasonable. Large box is expensive, but sometimes necessary. Other sources to consider
