Kind of sad to see this resto coming to a close - all phases were a pleasure to follow. Bike looks absolutely the nuts

Its been a slow burner for sure.
A problem to be overcome with almost every component, but somehow that makes a project like this all the more rewarding.
I'll do a proper beauty photoshoot when I've sorted the last few niggles.

Their the ones I enjoy the most, the ones that make me think. The ones that are just paint and reassemble don't give me the same satisfaction.

An absolutely top job as always 
. There can’t be too many Viscounts out there which have had a full nut and bolt restoration, which makes it all the more worthwhile.

Great thread. That creamier beige has a real period vibe to it.

Glad you appreciate it! I was tempted to go for a minty metallic green but very happy with the cream. It really makes me think of 70s cars and it creates a nice ground for the red details and leather colours.

Yes I think the red sits very well with the cream

The huge bit of bolt sticking out of the binder clamp was bothering me so I took it out and cut 8mm off...
Before
After
Bottle cage clamps, I made these thin rubber bits to stop them shifting/chewing up the paint.
Cage on.
Now all parts are finally done I just need to check the rear derailleur is setup correctly as it seems to sit miles off the block and makes for quite slow shifts.
