I can think of some other hairs that I would remove, equally slowly. The sellers are a bunch of chancers, they were advertising an overpriced steel frame only recently - but put wheels on it so it looked like a complete bike. Only if you read the small print it said it was just a bare frame. They're not in Finsbury Park either so they can't even get that right, Thane Villas is in Holloway, know it well.

This viscount still seems to have some of the original stuff attached?

Now l know what that word on the front mech. of my Viscount is," titlist." l am an ignoramus never having heard of it until now.
The rear mech is easy though, its Shimano Crane.

Correct, and certainly on mine, the rear derailleur was a Crane. I think the Titlist appeared on the front pretty much across the Viscount model range. Mine has its original stem also - which seems a rarity. Also the original seatpost - half thereof, jammed well down in the tubing. (Don't ask).Titlist rear mech has "Titlist" on it, Crane rear mech has "Crane" on it......I'm sure that rear mech is a Titlist.

As everyone knows I'm a fan of first gen Dura Ace ....... especially the black which was exotic at the time
It still irks me that the black Dura Ace kit first came with the black Crane RD

Decent value? Or just basic kit? Either way it's a bit big for me.

The black Dura Ace was standard fitout on the top of the line Viscount ... can't remember what it was called - maybe Viscount Superbike?? I've only ever seen one example but it was a stunning with its polished frame set off against the black hubs and the rest of the black highlighted groupset. Like the original Suntour Superbe it was prob the most beautiful iteration of the breed where less is more.As everyone knows I'm a fan of first gen Dura Ace ....... especially the black which was exotic at the time

I think the operative word might be "noice".
