Thank you all great help, I'm still no closer to knowing the Viking model but I think it is defo a Viking which I'm pleased with as at one point I had my doubts Some more digging and research might uncover some answers so I will keep trying.

Good observation on the dropout I will give it a good look tomorrow, can't imagine why someone would cut it off though? I See lots of information online but many sites do say old 531 plain gauge is 26.8mm So who knows, are there any other ways of identifying the tubing?

Hi all thank you so much for your replies, yes the pump pegs do appear to be cable guides as well which I find very odd. I haven't been able to find examples of Nervex lugs looking like these so good to hear that they might be Nervex? I did notice last night when inspecting further that the...

Sorry edit that should be RGF I think stamped on the top of the bottom bracket

Hi All, Long term reader but this is my first post so please be kind and apologies if this is posted in the wrong area? I have recently purchased this bike frame and Im really struggling to identify it and was hoping someone with more knowledge can help. I've looked on the Viking...
