Hi all, thought id join up and say hi. im Chris, hobbyist bike restorer and artist. currently restoring my second viscount. 1981 ex600 (bike of the year apparently) the first was a Tony Doyle replica from 1980 and on the to list is a Grand sport. Off to the Eroica Britannia for the first time this year. Most likely on a Viscount! You can follow my builds on Facebook if you're interested at all. www.facebook.com/SiegeworksArt

Welcome Chris! The 600EX is worthy of 'bike of the year' title almost any year in my opinion, great stuff.
Be sure to make contact with us all at Eroica, and if you fancy a Viscount Rally ride then keep calling back for venue and dates. We are in our third year of annual 'get togethers'.
Thanks for posting - I will check out your page

Thanks for the welcome, Glad to hear the 600ex is a good bike. it certainly seems so. I was lucky enough to get it in a job lot and it's completely original. I build bikes to sell but I think I might have to hold onto this one!
I will keep an eye on this page and would love to meet up and contribute to the community.
Cheers Chris

Hi and welcome to the forum, the white walls on that Tony Doyle really make it stand out.

Thanks, the white walls did set it off. This model was bottom of the range with heavy rusty Rigida rims. I swaped them out for mavics with rx100 hubs. Made an ok bike look great
