    Hey Goldie what a stunner! I've got a dream of building a spare pair of sprints for my Sport too. In my case got the hubs but not the tubs! hehe! Oh, and no money :( . Keep posting pics! b

    1974 Viscount Aerospace Pro - less of a rebuild...

    http://www.hlloydcycles.com/ They don't have all the various Viscount decals, but they might have what you need. Really lovely VA Pro you have there. Were the half-painted aluminium forks an original finish? They certainly look beautiful. Haven't seen that before. Tell us more about...

    any advice please. restorations.

    Found this thread while checking the stats on my blog (thanks for the link Goldie). Yeah my Aerospace Sport came up looking good but nowhere near the original colour. :,( FWIW my bike mechanic said that he would be prepared to bet money on the old paintjob being enamel. He did the...

    1975 Viscount Aerospace Sport restoration - full Dura Ace

    Thanks Ned. That's very interesting. I never knew Viscount did an AX race bike. Never seen that Viscount in print let alone in real life. This is the one my rebuild pays homage to: I've never seen this one in real life either. And neither has anyone I know seen it. I think the groupset...

    1975 Viscount Aerospace Sport restoration - full Dura Ace

    Thanks for the admiration Goldie. I dont have all the decals yet. Missing the seat tube bands and the extra "Aerospace" for the chain stays. The freewheel is, of course, Dura Ace! b

    1975 Viscount Aerospace Sport restoration - full Dura Ace

    Finally, after almost a full year in the shop, the resto on my beloved Sport is (nearly) complete. She's still without her decals, but everything else is in place. This particular bike came with Dura Ace front and short cage rear mechs (the rear was still called "Crane"). Other Aerospace...

    Cadex - Single Speed Build

    Still haven't gotten around to getting those fork ends machined... :oops: But had a brainwave for a temporary rebuild— turn it into a cyclocross bike! After all it ain't called a CadeX for nothing (hmm). Only thing is the frame is so small it's tricky getting the thing on my shoulder...

    Yep. Don't listen to Sheldon. That's my suggestion. He never knew anything about Viscounts anyway. b

    1974 Viscount Aerospace Pro - less of a rebuild...

    Ahh, a Viscount in its natural habitat. Beautiful! And of course you forgot to shoot the view but got the bike. The whole way you were probably thinking, "Gosh I love this bike. Gosh, I love this bike. Gosh..." :D b

    looking for mud gaurds - need help please !

    Perhaps he could try searching for a pair of Bluemels "Shortie" Mudguards. They come up fairly regularly on eBay and look like this: http://vintagebikeparts.org/bluemels-sh ... -alloy.htm They were de rigeur on "10-speed racers" in the 70s, but he'll get a wet arse if he uses them, they...

    Watermarks on Retrobike Archive scans

    Ah, you must have been reading my first draft, hehe! I changed that descriptor. As for your second sentence, I think I know what you're getting at but the second part of the sentence doesn't make sense to me grammatically. I would say that what's morally right and what the law is are very...

    Watermarks on Retrobike Archive scans

    Hi John I don't know of any sites that routinely watermark images that they host. I think if somewhere like imageshack or Flickr routinely did so there would be an outcry. Or perhaps more simply, people would go elsewhere. Unfortunately I cannot comment on the Campybike site as the link...

    Watermarks on Retrobike Archive scans

    Hi John I think you might be a bit confused about copyright and its implications. Someone who scans and uploads materials created by someone else does not have any ownership of that material. Watermarking it implies some claim to ownership which simply does not exist. I agree with the OP that...

    1959 Rotrax 'Concours' Path - New Photos & Final(ish) Build

    I thought I had by blog in my sig. It's here: http://feelofsteel.blogspot.com I'm restoring my 1975 Viscount Aerospace Sport with the complete first generation Dura Ace groupset. But the frame prep and paint job has taken 5 months so far, and while I thought things were close to being...
