I'm almost certain that the head badge fitted to my Viking was the same as in the attachment; but does anyone know when they were used ?

And does anyone have a spare that they could flog me ???

Ta for the link; but I'm not looking for a transfer, I'm looking for a metal badge.

 

[Vikeonabike]

I think those badges were transfers, however metal badges are available on the same site...

No But I may have to acquire the badge!

Would love to get hold of Viking Race top.
Followed by Saxon & Norman Frames to complete the set!

Hi this is my first post (sorry if pictures dont work) I found your site while trying to identify my bike that ive had for 15 years. There is a Viking stamp on the handle bars but thats it, she has been resprayed & the paint is cracked so im looking for an original colour for her.

My question is " is she a Viking, if so any idea of the model"

I have taken some rough measurements Top tube 21 1/2" Seat tube 21 1/2" wheels centre/centre 40 1/2"




Any help is apricated.

the wrapover seat stays and nervex lugs suggests it's actually a carlton from no later than the 1970s.

 

[Cypher]

Thank you for that alec, iv just googled Carlton & i think she maybe a "Carlton Corsa"

Also the picture i found in the Carlton brochure 1971 the bike is purple.

Thanks again.

I have a similar stamp on the bars of my Viking, but the frame shaped lugs are very different.

Your wish...




Did I mention the rust?

That was built in a factory about 1 mile away from where I am sitting at the moment.


I finally found one myself after much searching

Viking Superstar

Rides well, but I'm not sure about the blue bar tape!

Where was the factory located tyred? I've got a Viking Superstar 12 and a catalogue which refers to "...the world's most advanced bike factory..."(!) and I've always had a geek-ish interest in finding out exactly what that looked like. I wondered whether it might have been the result of a government backed DeLorean style investment in NI's economy that the bikes ended up being built there.

Here's mine, anyway - first photo just after finishing British Heart Foundation Manchester - Blackpool night ride...

I briefly looked after this blue Superstar 10 as well

 

[tyred]

It was located in the Springtown Industrial Estate, Derry.

I don't actually know what the factory looked like.

Here's an old Viking Catalogue.

Your Superstar looks in really good shape. There's some beautiful scenery in your Flickr photostream too!
