Viscount Aerospace G.P.
Now that I found an Aerospace Pro, this one will definitely get sold. I have no idea about the value.
I've got the pedals, just left them off to use my own for a bit. I replaced the Bottom bracket cartridge bearings, headset and hubs too. I replaced the cables and did a complete tuneup.
The decals were made by me, I don't feel that helps the value but the originals were trashed.
-Light cromolly frame, with integrated hanger. Nice Tange fork.
-Cool TA inspired crank
-Shimano Titlist rear derailleur
As found:

Hi mkeller234 -
That is a really nice looking example and I can see you did a wonderful job - But I don't think it will bring much over $200 simply because I just never see Viscounts go for more that that!
I know yours has more than that wrapped up in the servicing of it alone, but for some perverse reason, customers will often prefer to pay $175 for a bike and then drop two bills on repairs at the LBS. (At least that has been my experience.)
The upside is that you're still in a price range where it it has a broad audience, and it should sell fast since it is such a sharp looker.
