These photos are straight from the box. Going to give it a good clean and take another look. Bought as parts bike. Not sure what i will keep, viscount stem bolt, viscount stamped front lf hub, nothing stamped on the rear lf hub, double handlebar bottle holder a twin for the other one, viscount calipers, one without sticker. I will post more pics once she has been tidied up. |

Ah! You got it you bounder! I was asking the seller for details when it disappeared from eBay 'lost or broken'. I'd like the frame and any other bits you don't need.

Worth it for the double bottle holder!
And the nice long shimano 500 rd.

Good catch, Scott, and never mind, John, at least it's in the forum. What size is the frame?
I'm sure you'll never have a problem finding a home for an Aerospace frame that you can't find room for.
I look forward to seeing the post clean-up shots, or news of any post-dismantling parts plans.
Rob.

Nice find! Viscount seat post bolts are another desirable part to hang onto I reckon. b

Good work, Scott. A much better use of a Saturday afternoon than watching the Rugby World Cup!
That blue looks to have come up really nicely - is it slightly metallic to give it that shine? It's good to see your 'signature' water bottle holders cleaned up well, too. What jobs do you have planned for today?

Today looking at seat post removal, seems to be stuck, then rear end, something not right back there, not sure if a rear dropout slightly bent.

Scott, is that a crack around the left seat stay just above the dropout in the third photo? I only ask because it looks like the one I caused in my Sebring's chainstay when I tried to run it with a 130mm o.l.d. hub squeezed in.  Untitled by RMT@261, on Flickr If so, the wheel will be all over the place when you try to pedal it, as the rear triangle's structure is shot. All may not be lost, however. I have found a local frame builder who is prepared to try brazing & sleeving my broken chainstay for £20. I should know whether he has been successful in a week or so (and how much repainting is required). Sebring tubing is a lower spec than Aerospace, but it might be worth a try if the frame is worth anything to you or anyone else. |

Rob, doesn't seem to be cracked, no visible signs anyway, does look like some one has taken a hammer to the rear quarter though, I have re positioned the rear axle in the hub, added spacers which I think were missing, and rear wheel runs better. Need tyres & cables, then try her on the road & then make a decision on what to do with her.

Just a saddle, then ready to ride. I'm lovin all these Viscount/Lambert/Reg Harris restorations. The roads in 2016 are going to be seeing far more of these bikes. What more could you want?! |
