Yes they were pretty amazing at the time, crazy light for a production type bike.
What is even more interesting to me is that Lambert produced much of their own components, not
just rebadged stuff. They did use some rebadged (ta crankset) they were a very innovative company
that was mismanaged (?) and ultimately failed.
I had one of the Viscount Pros and with full suntour cyclone and unica nitor saddle weighed less
than 20 pounds, not bad for mid 70's.
