You may recall that this bike come home with me a while back. Turns out that I did a very lousy inspection before the acquisition, as the right rear dropout was bent and torn. The repair estimate was in the neighborhood of $100.00 USD, so this one now hangs in the garage of a friend who swears he is going to learn frame brazing some day. He can start by practicing on this one.
More recently (just this week actually) a fellow Working Bikes volunteer, who knows my interest in Viscounts, actually GAVE me this beauty:
It has a Kinesis aluminum fork, and some very unusual drop outs, with rack eyelets mounted in the open space above the wheel slot.
There is plenty of rust, and a lot paint worn off, but I find it wonderful. There's more pics here:
