Emily's is a very popular cafe for cyclists. The Bike Bay is in a barn adjacent and there are bikes and bits for sale.

When you zoom in on the pics , it's clear that this is in pretty decent condition. (leather saddle, Middlemore or Brooks ?)

So, while that price is high, it is a very nice bike and one that would make a great ride for anyone wanting an Aerospace framed Viscount.

I thought the price quite reasonable for a rideable, nice bike. If we had a bigger shed.... But I am not buying any more large-framed bikes, I am not getting any taller. The handlebar padding is grab-ons or equivalent. Very 80s, as Pete says. My Witcomb came with grab-ons and Alastair's 1983 Raleigh has them - but both in plain black. I believe they are still obtainable.
