Thanks for all the info both on and off list. It looks just like this one:

I'm currently trying to get through some web info on Viscounts, but would like some comments on a bike I found at a local charity store.
Viscount head decal, no lugs but head tube and downtube have black paint that look like pointed lugs. Says "Handcrafted in England". Down tube has decals that say, " Handcrafted by Trusty of England, or something similar.
The large chainring is bizarre (to my untrained eye) in that it is not at all "normal". It is a solid metal disk and Has six large holes in it, rather than a typical spider type configuration and has no marking that I can find. Front derail. has a line of oval holes, decreasing in size, and looks to be marked "Titlest".
Brakes, skewers, and stem have small red medallions that have a "V". Hubs also are viscount. The other components have obviously been changed, as the down tube levers are Shimano and the rear derail. is ST VGT.
Has a full chrome fork, so I hope it is not a "death fork" as it is my size and I may ride it.
