"Aerodynamics Bikes, Wave of the future"  Cool, now every bike mag has someone dressed up rather predictably, cycling clothes and helmet. |

Two questions arise from the May 1981 Bicycling magazine cover:
1. John/Cusqueno, do we need to start looking for a pair of v-stemmed handlebars for the Viscount MTB 'what if' project?
2. Scott(w), is the 1981 mullet and moustache a requirement for the 2016 Eroica Britannia Viscount Team members?
We could also try to reproduce the 7-Viscount group shot from the 1976 road test article when we get together again for DFR4. Could we match it model for model from members' own bikes? Does anyone have a time trial special with a radially-spoked front wheel - Whippet?

Rob, thanks for asking. Bullhorn bars might be good but I have bought a twin clamp stem (eBay no. 331502600362), which looks like a Taiwanese rip-off of an SR MTS-100

Stoatie can't be that far from tall enough, or perhaps we could hoist Pete up a flagpole with the camera?

We'd better start growing our hair (for the boys) and working out now. Interesting that the tt front wheel is radially spoked. I thought that was a modern fashion.

The only thing I'll get hoist on is my own petard!But we could perhaps use a pub sign,or a drone.
Cheers,
Pete.
