Viscount - Gran Touring

Okay, I've got no working/functional bikes in my stable so the projects/rebuilds that are not my size have to go!

I don't know why I bought this Viscount...all I knew about Viscount was the Death Fork mythos. This bike does NOT have the death fork, rather a chromed steel Tange fork from after Yamaha bought 'em out and post recall.

I kind of didn't want to see this get turned into a fixie, which I guess is why I bought it.

So, I have no idea what to ask for this bike or even where to sell it (Craigslist/eBay etc.).

Mostly, I want it gone and out of the garage. However, I do need to fund a rebuild for my wheel for my road bike (rim/spokes) so I'd like to get something in the neighborhood of fair. I can ship via my FedEx Ground account, but I wouldn't even know where to offer this bike.

Thoughts on Value? Thoughts on where/how to sell it?
