I saw this ad on Craig's List in LA; it advertises a Viscount System Stage. Have any of you heard of such a thing? Is some Chinese bike marketed with a Viscount label? The seat angle indicates the owner to be a poorly educated cyclist; so the whole thing may be fairy dust. losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/bid/5456810274.htmlAttached photo:  Cheers Jim |

I can't zoom in, but if I had to bet money, it's a Viscount saddle (the Taiwanese brand) , and he's taken that as the brand of bike and advertised as such?

orangecountyusedbikes.com/272-55cm-stage-system-road-bike.html (the link did not work, so one may have to look for the bike manually as "55CM STAGE SYSTEM ROAD BIKE"This looks similar, it is a 55 cm. The Craig's is 58 cm. Make of it what one wants. Spiffy bike, it is only $195 on this Orange County Used bikes website.  Orange County used bikes, there are a few of these other "used bikes" websites around. It's the same seat angle though? Isn't it. I once bought a bike new used and took photos of it and people noticed, "hey, that seat angle is not right".

I suspect it Kickstand is right and it is a bicycle brand named Stage and the model is System (maybe the other way around). It may also have a Viscount saddle (can't tell). The saddle angle is popular with our Latin population, who apparently, are in fear hurting their manhood; some ride "ladies" style bikes for the same reason. Cheers Jim |
