I just got done putting the final touches to my Viscount restoration up here at the men's escape center. I pulled her out of the trash a few years ago and she has been waiting in my barn for someone to restore her to like new condition.
The Lambert/Viscount bicycle company has a rather unique story behind them. They set out in the 70s on a brave quest to manufacture high quality frames and components that were affordable. A grand and noble attempt it was doomed to failure. Some of the cool things found on this bike are the sealed bottom bracket and hubs, one of the first aluminum forks (aka the death fork), and the beautifully polished crankset. We have the bike on display at the Chardon store if anyone would like to come up and take a look at it. In the future we will be posting more vintage bikes for you viewing. Stay tuned:)
