Just aquired a fixie from a LBS who was using it as an advert fro their shop in town.
any experts out there? Its a Viscount frame I think circa around 1978, with a sturmer archer dropout(facing forwards kinda) a nice flip flop on a rigida french wheel. TA straight cranks (only one banana for a Q).
My problem is no amount of googling will nail the frame date and model. I think it says Viscount President, but a bit worn. Anyone an expert on Viscount frames?
And I love riding it. everyone should try riding a fixie at least once. need to perfect my skid and track stand but itll come!
