Hi, Just spent the past year restoring a Viscount Aerospace GP I bought new in 1976 in Helena, Montana. It was custom assembled there with handle bar tip shifters, a triple chain ring for climbing steep passes (of which I did many). Moved to London 20 years ago and flew it over with me. NW Airlines nicely crushed it (chain rings, front wheel, but not the frame) and eventually it wound up hanging in an Underground parking area for about 16 years. I went back to the garage out of curiosity about two years ago and it was still hanging there, looking a bit forlorn. As it was an old friend, I loaded it up in the car and set out to restore it. I since learned about the "death fork" and had a devil of a time finding a bike with the steel/chromed fork replacement. I eventually wound up buying another to break up, from the states and now after a year of work have a very good friend back. Problem is, I now have another near perfect Aerospace frame and am thinking of restoring it as well, or at least get it ride worthy. Anyone know where I can get a replacement fork for it? Will other branded forks fit this? This is a 1981 Viscount Aerospace, and the fork/tube assembly fit perfectly on my '76 version.
