Sun

Sun first began the production of cycle parts in Birmingham 1885 and by 1906 were producing a range of machines. Their main period of fame was from the middle 20s through to the 50s. In 1959 they became part of the British Cycle Corporation which was absorbed by Raleigh in 1960. From 1963 Sun machines bore the badge with Worksop rather than their original Birmingham. The name finally died under Raleigh in 1986
