1977 Viscount Aerospace Pro frame, forks and Lambert front centre pull brake. Frame size - 23.5".
Frame resprayed metallic silver (superb job!!!!), restickered, laquered in 2011 by Hewitt Cycles. Cost £140.
Forks rechromed.
Original Viscount headset and brake quick release. Both rechromed.
Frame is made from Phoenix Tube Co. Ltd. '1027' grade CroMo steel. Thinner walled than Reynolds 531 yet has basically the same tensile and yield strength. Lovely low temperature fillet brazing - no lugs obscuring crude tube mitring here! Forks have Vagner forged crown and Suntour drop outs. These are NOT the alloy death forks. This is one of the first Aerospace Pros that came factory fitted with CroMo forks.
1973 Shimano Dura Ace derailleur cable guide (was NOS).
New bottom bracket bearings.
Genuine Viscount bottom bracket spindle fitted AND a spare one provided just in case. The fitted bottom bracket spindle has a JIS taper. The spare has Viscount's own ISO type taper. So, you have all tapers covered to provide plenty of crank options.
Two small dints on frame that are NOT structural. Some marks in the lacquer where wheels, front deraiileur and gear levershave been been attached (unavoidable). Needs a clamp for the seat tube.
Payment by PayPal gift, cheque or cash on collection.
£80 + postage (you choose the way you want it posted)
