Hi,
Bought my Viscount new in Melbourne Australia early 80's or late 70's.Have started rebuilding, and it has the original Tange forks, not the suicide one's.Wheels were "Birmalux" alloy, made in the UK, Shimano Tourney GS deraillers, Sugino 52 and 40 with Maxy cranks.Now has Shimano 600 brakes, and Mavic MA 40 rims with Suntour Pro hubs just fitted, what a difference!.Selle Royal saddle, and about to fit 7 speed Megarange.Also about to buy an Aero frame to build up as a companion, comes with Weimemann brakes etc.Love reading about all the Viscount tales, great bikes.
Best wishes,
Alan Kearsley.
