Lambert/Viscount, whatever, it is one of the later lugless frames Replaced the legendary death fork with one made from Columbus Aelle. Replaced the original BB with a Klein axle loctited to new bearings. The frame is ridiculously light- about 4lbs for a 24" frame. Cyclotouriste cranks with single 44t ring, fixed gear. SR SP11 platform pedals. Mafac cantis, Modolo levers, Tange G-Master roller bearing headset. A wee crimp in the chainstays to accomodate Conti Goliath 700 x 37 tyres. B17 with Carradice. A Sturmey Archer Dynohub provides token illumination, upgrade to a front light made in the last 15 years is pending.

Best Wishes,
DB
