At first glance, not so appealing, but maybe that will keep the price down. It also looks like the death fork, but seller doesn't mention it/isn't aware. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222436566647?ul_noapp=trueI can't tell if they are matching wheel rims but suspect they might clean up ok? Original pedals and porthole chainset. Might be worth £30 but expect a lot of work....and who would want to bet on the seat stem smoothly slipping out first time? |

It would be worth asking the seller if he can check that the stem and seat post aren't frozen. The Pro that I picked up from Craig's list also looked like a mess with lots of rust on everything chrome but I did get the seller to check said stem and seat post before I committed. Hey, the pedals even have the dust caps!
I just went and messaged the seller to check and will report back when I get a response.

Got a response from the seller:
New message from: mtaylor18692ac (643Purple Star)
Hi checked today seat post and stern are quite free
Sorry for delay couldn't get to see bike till today
Thanks mike
Might be a bargain for someone with a bit of elbow grease. At least we now know about the stem (stern) and seat post.
Cheers,
Michael

It's a death fork alright and look at those 'V' pedal dust caps. Mustn't have been ridden much!
The bike has been neglected beyond belief and now just needs someone to love it.
Poor thing.

Curiosity got the best of me. Had to see if "death forky" sold on eBay. It actually got 7 bids and went for about $54 US. Anyone here the new owner??? There are rescue pets and now we have a rescue Viscount.  |
