  Hey, it's starting to look like a real bike again. Still waiting for my headset, unfortunately. Tomorrow, I begin building the wheels. It looks nice, now, on the bike, but I must say that disassembling the crankset (again) to clean and buff it all was a lengthy effort that did not improve the looks of the cranks and rings as much as I'd hoped. The hubs, however, did brighten up quite a bit, and the new wheels will definitely help to show the bike off. |

I'd say it's shaping up very nicely. Just got the saddle today and may put it on my matching Pro and see if my arse can take it. When you start racing it, you'll need a nice Viscount jersey. Somewhere on the forum, there is a link to two designs I did and had made up in China, custom. No financial interest on my part. Stella is modeling one in red on Facebook. Keep it rolling!

Hi Mike, I'm glad you received your saddle in good order. The more I get into this, the more addictive it becomes. I'm already finding that I want more than one. God help me.

It starts innocently enough, but beware of its GRIP! A popular line heard when browsing listings is "I must resist!"
7, Frank....7. Who knows where this will end???

You've probably heard that the ideal number of bikes for anyone to own is N+1, where N is the number they have at present. For Viscounts it's more like N+2 |

Oh I am well aware of the Rules, especially, N+1. After much meditation and contemplation and consideration on the subject, I determined that the upper limit of N+1 is 24. If you're a rider and not just a wall hanger, collector type. So I am now re-arranging the bucket list so that there are 3, count 'em, three, Viscounts on the list, rather than the previous 1. N+2? I think you're on to something.
Seven, Mike? You have SEVEN Viscounts? "I must resist." "I must resist."
