Viscount Aerospace 600ex
1981
Road bike
Proper restoration
700c
A nice frame I bought off ebay as an impulse buy, as the frame looked beautiful and quite uncommon. It was easier than usual to find the parts as the frame have a sticker suggesting the Shimano 600EX groupset on the top tube. The bike uses Viscount proprietary tubing which is suprisingly unbutted. Catalogue says that the frame was handmade with 0.8mm chrome molybdenum tubes. I came across the bike document after I built the full bike and most of my component choices matches the specs of the bike. A very nice bike, also quite light as it's just under 10kg at 9.6kg.
