Subject: [CR] Viscount Apollo Tourer


I was given a frame covered in household gloss paint which, when scraped off, revealed the words 'Viscount Apollo Tourer.' I'm familiar with the Viscount/Lambert bikes, but have been unable to found any information on the Apollo Tourer. I have restored it to resemble the Viscount on Classic Rendezvous, but with a five speed screw-on freewheel block and wider wheels as befits a tourer of the era. Is there anybody out there who has more information on this version of the Viscount? Incidentally, although my recreation is far from perfect, I have saved the frame from being turned into a 'fixie.' She lives again and is ridden sedately through the streets of Liverpool.
