I gave up hope at this point went back in, had a cuppa then disappeared down the allotment for the day.Stoatie wrote:Well seeing as the idea was out there I went ahead and created one http://app.strava.com/clubs/53227, feel free to join up. It would be nice to see how others are getting along with their beloved Viscounts.
Anyone manage to get out and enjoy the sun today? I planned to, got up nice and early all set and ready to leave, went to put some air in the tires and broke my track pump. Fine I thought hand pump it is, got the tyre pumped up, took the pump of the valve and promptly snapped the end of the valve off.

On a side note does anyone else use strava for logging their rides, was thinking of creating a Viscount Club page on there.

Sooper8 wrote:Yes, I got out this afternoon. Lovely weather for it.Sorry to hear about your misfortune with the pump, but allotment must have been a decent second to a ride?

I have Strava on iphone but have barely used it. Does seem good though.
Edit - went out for a quick ride this morning. First pleasure ride in as long as I can remember! So nice not to have tons of layers and a bag on my back.

Oh no, really sorry to hear that! Hope you can get on the mend soon. Best wishes

Good tip-off Drossall. Happy to say I won it. Now hoping I will be able to re-shape it without destroying it. Will have to see how brittle it feels and go easy. It'd be a shame just to have it sitting on a shelf when I could be sitting on it on my Pro.

The saddle feels nice and flexible, none of it seems brittle that i've noticed. I would guess you could just ride it without reshaping, although I didn't try it on a bike myself, maybe more of a cosmetic thing. (?)
Please, for the saddle's sake, only use Proofide.
