I have a copy of Cyclist Monthly from July 1982. Here is a comparative retail price list for Viscount bikes from that edition (and the weight in some cases) I must admit, I have never heard of the Pursuit or the Omnium models...

I think a typo crept in under 'weight' for the Deore 18. Should be 28lbs I think, or 29lbs, same as the 18ax ? Useful to have the table. Thanks

Ace, Pursuit, Omnium? Curious find, this. Viscouts and Lamberts: never a dull moment.

What on earth the Ace had on it to make it twice as expensive as a 600EX is blowing my mind!

Maybe someone will turn up with such a bike. I'd like to see one.
