Street Touring on a Pro
Equipped with high pressure rims and onion-skin tires the Viscount Pro makes a great club or general paved road touring machine.
The sloping crown aluminum fork minimizes road vibration transfer and improves riding comfort. The hand-brazed chrome-moly frame is exceptionally rigid. And a rigid frame means little pedaling energy is lost to frame flex or whip.
You won’t fatigue easily on a Viscount. Sealed bearings insure minimized rolling resistance. A micro adjust seat post makes for a most comfortable cycling position.
As a result, all the work of cycling gets translated into swift, sure motion. And efficient motion over long distances is what the Pro is all about.
