Only an adjustable wrench will fit your bike. Other than the bolts on the rear derailleur, everything on your Sprite is Whitworth thread, and neither metric nor SAE wrenches will fit them. Gotta love the Brits. Just talk to a Morris or MG owner. A worn 7/16" might squeeze over the stem bolts and you might find a 6-point wrench will fit well enough for some of the others. That bike's in real nice shape for a $50 special.
