That looks very nice! I'd make an offer of £75 -£80 and then meet somewhere at £99 or £105 if that clinches it. I had one of these, then Rob had it , and I think they look good. It's an Aerospace Pro frame - so even if my frame fitted you (sorry , forgot to measure it again) and then you bought wheels and parts for it, you might be up to that price anyway with less hassle? |

I thought about it but from his measurements it sounds like it’s a 23 1/2 frame, so probably a bit too big. It does look nice though! |

Hi Franco....I see from your posts you are close to North Notts.
I live very close to M1 Jnc 28 & have a couple of viscounts & parts that I may look to part with...at vgood price. Before you go buying off ebay, please get in touch & let me know what you looking for.
I have a Lambert frame, an Apple green Viscount frame with seat stays stamped & two complete viscounts, sport & not sure of other, but has a small dint in frame, a good parts bike.
Let me know if interested & I will take some photo's.
Scott

Scott - Do you still have that Aerospace Sport that you had way back on DFR1? I love the colour of it. If you ever sell, please drop me a line first if you would?

That is one I would keep, this was the bug that bit me all those years ago! My first viscount & my first pushbike since the mid eighties.
I also wouldnt look to part with the Lambert Reg Harris, albeit in poor condition & would also look to keep the pro. Done a few miles on this in the past & provides good memories.
If I could I would look to get the Reg Harris professionally back to good as new.

Are any of them 22 1/2 or 23” frames? |

I keep hold of this Indy 500 despite very rarely riding it just for sentimental value Funny how we get attached to bikes despite using them isn’t it. I picked up a Raleigh Kellogg’s Pro Tour 501 Reynolds and it got me back into riding and working on bikes. Had it on the turbo trainer after buying other stuff, but it has always been the bike with the most sentimental value. |
