Just added another bike to the overcrowded basement. This one comes from Minnesota via Craig's list. It hasn't been ridden since the 70's and appears to be all original with one bonus. It has the Pro micro adjust Campy style seat post. I've wanted to do a classy British style touring version Viscount as inspired by Bendo's work. It's even my 23 1/2" size! I've already got the ultimate Aerospace GP via the Mojave Desert (thanks Jem!) so why duplicate. I've already picked up a nice Crane/Titlist combo with retro Shimao 333 shifters so it will basically be spec'd like a Pro clincher. A few spokes are missing from the rear wheel (Birmilux) but other than that, no frozen stem or seat post. A fair # of corroded little parts but ultimately a good deal at $100. I envision it in a dark burgundy powder coat color with leather handlebar tape and a Brooks saddle. I think I'll soon be in touch with Busaste about those BB tools. It's gonna make a nice offseason project (if I can wait).
