Nice colour. What is it called? Looks the same as my 600ex (which the Viscount catalogue called Linden Green, which is a standard colour in some system - RAL?)

Very tasty!
Did you have a renaming ceremony now it's a different colour?Or is it still 'Biscuit'?

Oh, my gosh, I LOVE it! Beautiful, gorgeous, sexy and all of that. Are you bringing it to the rally? How does it ride? That's the most important question I guess.

They colour matched it after I used some acetone and got the rattle can BRG off on the fork leg, but I did send a picture of a 600EX and said that it was probably Linden Green.
Alas I can't make this years rally as I'm partaking in the L' Eroica , but hopefully I shall come next year

Shame you can't come, are you taking Biscuit to the L'Eroica, then? Worthy bike to show off. One day I'll equip one of my bikes with the Arabesque group set. I think it's really pretty and well suitable for your bike.

Look really nice foss. Who did the decals? I will be needing some of those shortly for my own 600EX.

You could be a salesman for Mercian with those photo's!
It looks like they did a superb job.
That really is a bike to drool over.

Took it out for a 53 mile ride this morning , It was nearly the last as some woman in a car very nearly crashed into me !! she saw me at the last moment she was going rather quick it would have been bad for me and I would have had a broken biscuit !

That looks a fantastic bike. Definitely not run of the mill fame. Nice job, don't break it.

Mr Benbo , are there any particular bits you would like photos of ? And Mr sooper8 She is still my Biscuit Oh, you know, all of it! But you guessed one of my weaknesses already. Very jealous of the axle adjusters!  I particularly like side on shots, in front of plain backgrounds, tyre valves at 6 o'clock, drive-side, camera level with the tops of the wheels, slightly telephoto so as not to distort the bike's geometry too much, chain on the big ring. Then put a little HDR on it, adjust the contrast, a little vignetting and voila! Or just take it from every angle  b |

Bendo, at least you're not very particular in what you expect. lol
Foss: glad you're all right and escaped that tragedy! How can someone overlook a bike that colour? Blind? Doh!

Bendo has the Wonder Fence in his yard - it is the perfect bike photo background  |

I met Biscuit in Bognor last Wednesday. Very nice bike. Also Foss and Mrs Foss. Perhaps I will have a Viscount with me next time?
