Viking

Viking - bike builder founded in Wolverhampton in 1908 , at one point the largest bike manufacturer in the city. Went belly-up in the ‘60s and the name was bought by a company in Derry, Northern Ireland. My first “good” bike ~1977 was an NI Viking - pale blue 531, low-end Campagnolo drivetrain. I outgrew it pretty quickly and replaced it with a Peugeot.
