Hey everyone! Long time no see! It's been a while, apologies to anyone who has messaged me in the last, um five years or so! Glad to see the forum is still running and that many of the 'old' names are still posting. And DFR is up to, what, 10 now? Amazing! I just got my beloved Supa Sport back from the framebuilder's workshop. It had been hanging there waiting to get new dropouts but in the meantime the framebuilder got swamped with work and my frame was just sitting there. So I thought bugger it! Life's too short to have such a nice frame on the wall. So I've rebuilt it and am getting my Viscount mojo back in a big way! Not that I wasn't still riding my other Viscount all the time. The former "Victor" who had his headtube crushed was reborn with a Pro frame but now runs with mudguards and a front porteur rack. He's my daily commuter/station wagon. But there's something about this bike with it's skinny tyres and massive gear ratios. It's a whole other way of riding that I'd forgotten.

Hey Bendo, glad to have you back! Sort of Supa Dupa! I suppose that to be a completely awful pun.

Not that many actually. In terms of kms, I'd say only around 200km. b
