Help Identifying Viscount Bike
I am looking at purchasing a 1970s Viscount bike but would like information of what model and what it may be worth. Unfortunately I don't have pictures so I will describe it. First off the frame is NOT lugged. It is white with a blue head tube and some blue on the seat tube. The wheels are 27 inch clinchers. Hubs are Viscount, large flange and are quick release. The rear derailleur is Shimano Titleist. The down tube shifters are Shimano. It has Viscount center pull brakes. The decal on the top tube says Aerospace. It is 10 speed and the chain ring has circular cutouts. It is in very good shape and still has the death fork. Does anyone have an educated guess as to model and value? Thanks.

For some reason, Viscount bicycles are not much in demand. I am not sure why this is the case, but I often see them not sell even when offered for a decent price. As for the fork, don't use it.
Other than that, I know little of the bicycle.

By the components and paint it would be an Aerospace G.P. (top model was the Aerospace Pro). Value is tough to say, but 25-100 bucks, probably. As noted, they don't get much respect.
