Really nice website on this vintage brand. I enjoy learning about more obscure bikes rather than the usual popular ones, I mean, both are great. http://www.hill-special.co.uk/index.html Quite a bit to see.

Okay, first off, I know a lot of people are unsatisfied with the old Prestige Simplex derailleurs but if they were improved and more durable, they might change their mind. I think the Delrin(?) plastic pulley wheels are where the problem was on the old Simplex rear mechs...

... if you are one of those who go really Vintage with a capital V, for Bar Tape, if you should be one of those who like regular cotton bar tape, the same size in general, rather inexpensive, Hockey Stick Tape... I'm experimenting, I found some. It's not nearly as thick and rough and tough...

I forget the name of the part shown in the diagram below, pushouts or something? The little screw. I once took some off on a bike which I still have. Do people think they are important?? I found this diagram which shows it well. Sign of quality on a bike? A lot of motorbikes have them too...

Viscount, keeping it as well. Seems to be close or is the Aerospace. At fixedgeargallery, someone put up a picture showing their fork did indeed crack up the middle area so I have installed a typical chromed fork on it and saved the old. The frame must all be alloy. Kind of amazing for a bike...
