Viscount Aerospace Road Bike (Vintage, aerodynamisch)

Deze fiets moet opgeknapt worden: o.a. de voorband moet vervangen worden, ik lever een nieuwe band met het juiste formaat erbij

Het fietst een beetje moeilijk, maar fietst weer lekker nadat je wat aan het achterwiel hebt versteld.

Met originele onderdelen, beetje roest, alleen het zadel is vervangen en volgens mij de trappers ook (maar niet zeker).

Voor de rest ge-upgrade met: een standaard, en een achterspatbord

Made in England, eerste racefiets met aerodynamisch materiaal

OVER DE FIETS (gevonden op het internet):

The "Ærospace" Frame
In the 1970's an English "ærospace" company built, under the names "Lambert" and "Viscount", surprisingly inexpensive, very lightweight bikes made with "ærospace" tubing. Now, that, in itself is not as impressive as it might sound since the aerospace industry specs a pretty wide variety of steel tubes for different applications.
The tubing used was straight-gauge chrome-moly steel; the Viscount version of the bike had a detailed sticker on the seat tube detailing the type of tubes used, throwing in a few references to military specs, etc. Lambert Bicycles were later called "Viscounts" after the company was purchased by Trusty in 1975 or 1976.
After being imported to the United States, Viscounts made quite a splash in the bike-oriented magazines and were favorably reviewed. The light-gauge steel tubing made for a 3.75 lb frame (56 cm) and the total bike was claimed to weigh in at between 19 and 21 lbs, depending on whether it was the clincher or tubular model.
Most Lamberts were fillet brazed from lightweight straight-gauge chrome-moly tubing, which was decent enough but prone to cracking at the seat tube/bottom bracket juncture. The rear dropouts, which were horizontal, were Shimano models in the first production frames but were downgraded to an unbranded (and softer) version in later models.

The "Death Fork"
The bikes (both Lamberts and Viscounts) came with a cast aluminium (aluminum) fork which was pinned to a steel steerer tube. Early production didn't even have the pin. This fork was the main problem as it had a tendency to snap off the steerer tube with predictably unfortunate consequences to the rider.
