Many thanks
I'll second that notion for anyone in the states, especially NY Metro and Vermont (for vtchuck). I've already adopted an unwanted small aerospace frame that will become something again.

The same bike was posted on the Lambert and Viscount forum and I offered to help load the photos for the seller but didn't hear anything back when I pm'd.
I have a silver Aero Space Pro that i have used with great care. Many years of wonderful riding, and showing it off. Paper work still in folder. When the Viscount was new .. Yamaha sent a "new" chrome fork, which i still have ...also "new" in the box with complete documentation. Triangle Reflector + mount, and tang was sent. Probably a difficult task to ship to UK... NY metro area is where the bike lives. Contact : spydr454@verizon.net
After the 'warm up' at Bakewell in June, keep the 11th July free for the 'main event'..The Third Annual Death Fork Rally (DFR3). Trusty, Lambert and Viscount bikes, but all welcome.
My Viscount Grand Sport will be on eBay shortly, it's just too small for me so it's not getting used. The engineering won me over when I refurbished a few bits on it last year.
I posted a Viscount Super Sport for sale that we are trying to get rid of - but no-one got back to me and I had responded to "Sooper" and send pics, etc.

Just bumping this thread up to let people know that the third annual gathering of Trusty,Lambert and Viscount bicycles will take place on Saturday 11th July venue TBC but guessing somewhere central in England. All welcome, even if it's just to come and chat, gentle ride or longer ride (or just to the pub) - Families, and none Lambert/Viscount riders very welcome too.
If anyone is planning to come to this event and would like to camp over , then can you just drop me a PM please as we are negotiating exclusive use of a really nice camp site.(price depends on numbers)
It has hardstanding for very limited number of vans , a couple of camping pods, or bring a tent. Has electric hook up and good facilities (showers, washing up block etc), beautiful views and very quiet.
Please state if you want Fri 10th Sat 11th or both, and if you are van, tent or pod.
Just in case you think we might be a 'weird bunch' here is a photo from last year.....(I'm not saying if this photo dispels that myth or if it confirms it! )
A very nice family day out and the nicest people you could meet.
If you want to come along, feel free, even if you don't have a Lambert/Trusty/Viscount. All welcome. Camp site has some great views and very nice facilities.
Years ago I bought a frame from Ken Rogers (ace trike builder) which had been made by Viscount. Painted light blue with chrome forks (which looked like Tange) and no decals, I built it up for fixed wheel winter riding. It was a very good ride but alas I bumped off a Milton Keynes Redway kerb and to my surprise broke the top and down tubes at the head tube junction. The frame walls were very thin - too thin obviously.
Here is the start and end point for the ride on 11th July. Aiming for 11am start. http://www.beehivefarm-woodlandlakes.co.uk/index.html It's in a village called Rosliston, which is just outside Burton on Trent in the Midlands. Parking for those driving to event is in the car park on the entrance path to camp site (so follow signs for camp site, and approach as if you were going in, then car park is on your right).
