1974 Viscount Supabike build thread sort of..

[Jonny69]

My pics are long dead but there were a couple of us on here who had Vicounts bitd. Mine was a lugged lower model from the late 70s but we never worked out what the actual model name was. The aluminium fork had been replaced with the chrome one. It’s great to see yours with both forks and all the supporting documentation - I’d bet that might be the only surviving example so look after it!

Take a look at the link Jem put up. Some really nice Viscount's there. I have the tourer to do next and last I heard Jem had another....

I trimmed and crimped the cables. I tightened nuts too I hope to get the tape on tomorrow. I will take some photos if it's not raining.

Rode 6 miles. Nothing fell off or broke and no one died. It's finished.

Looks great! Love the black dura ace and contact points.

Thanks mate, rides well too. Bit dazzling in the sun.

No photos of taped nuts thank you.

How you do your builds so fast amazes me. Looks very very sleek. Gum walls and hoods looking better than I thought

Just a suggestion, and possibly too much bike tart, but would some black enamel paint in the stem flute be worth it?
