Viscount gran sport,
no death fork and wrong back wheel but the frameset is pretty darn light! Just got home with it. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...5b2af1b3f4.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...94edd6e103.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...7f5fd48334.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...de69c8eb26.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...63ec9ff05c.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e89a67ec2d.jpg |
Looks like it has a conventional BB unit, too (another plus) but watch out how you handle the seat cluster "ears" those have been a known weak spot on most of these "fillet brazed" frames.

Nice pick up. One of those front derailleurs came stock on a 70s Sekine SHS 271 I picked up. It did a crummy job shifting. I picked up a second one used; it also did a crummy job. So I switched to a suntour FD which works fine. Hopefully your mileage will vary from mine.

That's one reason why I like 60s and 70s era bikes with center pull brakes; they typically have a crazy amount of tire clearance.

Very nice pick up!! Love that dark red color too
