It's taken me almost twelve months, but I've finally finished my 1954 Sun Wasp road/track. The wheels feel massive, but once it gets going it really moves.
The frame as purchased, with at least three layers of thick paint (red, green, yellow):
The finished bike, resprayed by Mario Vaz and fitted with period-correct British components (with the exception of the French pedals, Belgian rims, and modern tyres and tubes):
The colour scheme isn't a copy of an original, but was instead inspired by a classic Nike Air Jordan colourway:
