Your going price for a Viscount Aerospace??
 
Yeah, the title basically says it... an acquaintance has a Viscount Aerospace. The bike appears to have the original stem, crank, brakes, correct Shimano derailleurs, maybe correct seat post. Pedals are replacements, as are the brake levers (as far as I can tell). Throwing in some Suntour barcons (functional, but a bit of cosmetic rash). And yes, the fork of unspeakable horror. What would YOU pay? (Thanks for you responses, in advance.)

$40 for the barcons if something else on it looked worthwhile. :thumb:

Does it have clincher wheels or tubular wheels?

Clinchers... with the original Viscount hubs. I think the rims are Nisi.

Eight/nine years ago I bought one in excellent condition for $84. One of the worst bikes I ever owned. Owned it for less than a year.

Not all of the forks were prone to failure. There's a thread here about it. Corrections were made to the original design. Personally I'd have zero interest.

A couple of years ago, a local friend took forever to sell one. Finally did at $30 for the complete bike. Just not much interest at the time.

As a specimen of a concept in time, interesting.
I liked the version with the large chainring with only circle cutouts, distinctive.

as a bike to ride? Nah.

the early adverts with the attractive lass astride a gold plated one... intriguing.

$50 tops just to take to a bike show for commentary.
