I'm still looking for my winter project bike, so I have been trying out some different configurations with my Stealth Viscount. The 2 versions share a Viscount Aerospace frame, YST bottom bracket, seat post, saddle. Cinelli Giro bars, Origin 8 stem, Weinmann Levers, Tektro long reach 590 brakes, Pro Ace pedals and Shimano 600 Arabesque shifters & front derailleur. The "Sport" version has a 531 round section chrome fork, Specialized 49-39 175mm cranks, a short cage Shimano 600 Arabesque rear derailleur, Shimano 600 hubs, Mavic Module E rims, Michelin 700c x 23 tires and a 13-24 freewheel. SportThe "Sport Touring" has a Tange #1 chrome fork, Holdsworth 48-34-28 175mm cranks, a long cage Shimano 600 Arabesque rear derailleur, SR sealed hubs, Arraya rims, Vittoria 27x1&1/8 tires, Fenders (mudguards) and a 14-28 freewheel.

Likely going with the latter version for early spring riding, but may use lighter wheels in the summer.

Very nice and very nice! Geez, how tall are you again? 6'13"? b Thanks and thanks. I'm only 6'2", but have pretty long legs & arms. The bike measures 24" C-to-C, so not off the charts... I do favor larger frames and could never see myself riding one of the new CF bikes with sloping top tubes and a foot or more of seat post showing. I'd feel like a BMXer. I also have a Trek 660 that is 25" C-to-C. One of my favorite rides.
