Hi all,

I'm puzzled by all the Viscount death stuff, and particularly by the fellow who described Viscount as "junky". They are light responsive frames, just what your readers look for in vintage lightweights I would have thought. My 1978 model has never given a moments trouble, (Tange steel fork), the famous bottom bracket just goes on and on, and while Campy stuff has had problems, I don't see anyone dismissing all Campy products as "junky". Snobbery exists in many forms, criticism often from people with no practical experience of the subject. I will continue to enjoy my "junky" Viscount after 27 years of faithful service.
