I really like that bike, speaking of font (and I did save this picture just in case as well)  And....not the same but I'd say similar to some of what the 1970 World Cup held in Mexico font looked like:  And again, the 1968 Olympics, similar, not the same but the one on the bike sure looks familiar to me, maybe I have seen it somewhere else.  Obviously, at a minimum, the e is different, lower case on the Viscount, letters are not connected on the bicycle's toptube. In fact, on the bicycle, all of the letters are lower case, on the Olympics/WC log, the letters are capitalized. It might be hard to find decals for that bike, cover it up with helicopter tape, it looks like they are preservable in what remains, fairly good all the same. Just my speculations, could be wrong. |

 Saved image for experiment's sake, ebay images as said probably do hang around a while. |

"Nothing to get hugely excited about, but another for the 'train spotting' guide that is the list of model names we keep updating on here" ------------ I have seen that list of model names but for some reason, I can not find it now, it needs to be put in a prominent place. ----------- One more thing, those "cable guides" on the top tube, the black rings, I assume that is what those are. I once bought a used bike and it had these big rings on them, no bag, not like those above but a bit like this without the bag. More bike boom stuff I suppose.  |
