Apologies if this is the wrong place to post a question of this nature - if so, please advise where I should!
I have recently aquired an old Sun Worksop road bike, the model is 'Snipe Plus'. I actually swapped it for another bike in a junk shop, and the chap working there mentioned it may be worth a little bit as they don't make them any more. From the little information I have managed to find online, it appears to be from the 60's, and as far as I can tell, has not had anything on it changed whatsoever. I was hoping someone may be able to possibly give me a little more information on it, as I was intending to fix it up a little, and upgrade some of the older parts, but didn't want to change anything until I had ascertained whether it may be worth something, monetarily or otherwise, in it's present, seemingly untouched, 'vintage' condition!
Apologies if I am wasting everyone's time with my ignorance, but as a collector of vintage drums, I know how painful it is to see someone butchering a priceless item as a result of said ignorance to what they have!
Thank you!
