Here are pictures of my Viscount Aerospace Sport, taken on the Millenium Cycle path Burry Port, part of the Welsh Coastal Path, South Wales. Had a couple of nights with Mrs W in South Wales. Part of my training for DFR2, and l'eroica britannia.

Damn, that is looking good!
That colour is just about my favourite Viscount paint jobs ever. There is such a classic look about that bike.
' training for DFR2 ' ? ...they have some decent pubs in South Wales then?

What a stunner! Agree with Sooper: absolutely brilliant colour.
I've not seen a Sport with a Crane RD. What's the front, Titlist? I couldn't see. I assume you put them on later, or did they come with the bike?

Stella sorry for a delayed response, here are some more photos that may help. Plus the Colorado Gt I got last November, crank removed.

Beautiful. Shame re the pitted fork, though. It it just me, or do Viscounts always look like proud horses with their necks arched, eager to go on a ride?

May I suggest you make a record of what it says on the silver sticker at the top of the seat tube. The writing wore off mine before it occurred to me to do so. All about the aerospace credentials. And if you were to post said words on this forum, I'd be thrilled.
