I've just been ordering some very nice parts from Rob, the owner of a company called Velobitz (no affiliation). In passing I mentioned it'd be nice to have some Viscount-unique bar end plugs, with a logo like the "V" on brake pivots and saddle clamp bolts. Lo & behold, he's gone off and created this in a really nice cromoveleto finish ... www.velobitz.co.uk/vintage-style-v-viscount-lambert-chrome-racing-bar-plugs-caps-reproUsually they're £7.99, as they're fiddly to make, but you can get them for £6.99 with checkout code "VISLAM". While you're there, have a look at his Almarc style stitched leather handlebar kits ... I just got one ... looks great! Hope this helps, Rod

Very nice, keeping the “flame” alive. Now if I could only find the Reg Harris - Bob Thom - Ian Steel frame stickers for the original Lambert. Best, John “wheelson”

Nice, I like the “V” ones. Might pick some up for the Pro

... Rob does decals too ... ditto, check with Greg Softly (cf. crank decals thread) I’ve dealt with Greg, Velocals, and several of the GB dealers with good success for the regular vintage transfers but the odd ones like the old Lamberts are hard to find. Several vendors will try if you have something to go by so I’m collecting photos on line. Best, John “wheelson”
