I have a Viscount, so I'm allowed to cast aspersions, right??
(And by cast, I am in no way making a pun regarding their use of casting for producing their ill-fated fork. Really.)
Only Viscount owners (past and present) can cast asperations!

I actually had no problems with the death fork, commuted with it for a few years
before it got recalled, then put the Tange fork on and weight went up a bit.
I don't think the Lambert cranks failed any more often than campy cranks
(maybe less), TA made good stuff.
I'd say more like "Light and whippy".
