Viscount by Yamaha

Hi I have a 70s 10 speed, Yamaha 'Viscount - Denver' in black with gold pinstriping.

Just got the frame without a seat or wheels. Everyhing else looks original. Brakes and handle lever bases are copper plated with a antiqued look. Has a badge and those chromey decals on the seat post tube. Viscount is in upper case italics in gold, while the denver is on the top rail in the same format. Stem is extended forward, quite long.
I will try to post some pics if html is allowed here?//?/
Have since put some wheels on it from a Healing. Most parts look original and the derailleur at the back appears to be early shimano.
