About 140 miles away but could combine it with a trip to my daughter's lake house.
I would like to buy this one in case I can't complete the frame work on the Middlebury Pro. This one is my size and I had been thinking of putting flat bars on my smaller one (54cm) for my wife. If I could get this one I could just swap parts and have [almost] matching red and white Viscounts.
Alas, this is another case where I get no response from the seller despite repeated tries.

There's another nice deal of facebook market place, also in Dover, NH, which I guess is the new hotbed for Viscount sales. It's a nice blue Gran Prix (not a GP), the only Aerospace model I don't own. www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3105854959524562Also spotted on facebook marketplace, a 2 for $150 deal on an Aerospace GP and a Sebring, in Berlin, Ct www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/362499305092104I'm beginning to worry about my recommendations for you Brian seeing how the Pro was a fooler from the pics, but my intentions are all good  PS edit I just noticed the same craiglist bike you are looking at in Dover is also listed on FB marketplace. Maybe you'll get a response from this contact. www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/664673034255284 |

I do not have a Facebook account. I don't think there is a way to look at these without one. Thanks for all of your recommendations.

Triitout, are you interested in the Dover Gran Prix? If so, I might try to acquire the Dover Aerospace GP and I can try to get the Gran Prix while I am up there. I'll hang onto it until it is convenient (and possible) to turn it over to you. BTW, I created a Facebook account.

Brian Actually, forget it because I do not have the Facebook account I created yesterday. When I try to log in it tells me I am suspended for violating community standards. I guess logging in once and looking at bikes for sale is too much for their delicate sensibilities. Who knows, I might be hoarding Viscounts.
Anyway, I am making no attempt to revive the account. I went through some other nonsense with Facebook years ago and swore I would never use it again. I should have stuck with that. I hate that f*****g thing!

Haha  I don’t use it either but sometimes log on to my missus’s account to look at bikes for sale or the viscount cycling group page. |

Brian, thanks for the offer on the Dover Gran Prix even if it's rescinded! You must be a real outlaw/badass to get thrown off Facebook, haha. Facebook has lots of BS but I have enjoyed reconnecting with friends from my past and found we still have things in common. I do hate Zuckerberg and how he has no shame to monetize disinformation when it clearly is not a free speech issue. It's a love/hate relationship. Franco, you're a closet Facebook user, haha. Have you no shame sir!  |

Trust me, I only glance on marketplace, the viscount group and the Raleigh roadster group. My missus’s feed gives me the fear and makes me want to drop out of society completely.
I used it years ago when I played music in bands, it was a good promotional tool and to be fair I do miss some friends on there I’ve now lost touch with. The bad outweighs the good on there unfortunately. |

I'd love to get thrown off FB,I would be a great honour , I hate everything about it- I only joined so I could browse the Marketplace sales. The layout is poor, usability is poor, the functions tabs are non-intuitive and it looks to be designed by reject staff from a Windows 95 offshoot project. The way in wants to inveigle itself into every aspect of your on-line (and off-line ?) life irritates me and scares me.
And that's before we even get on to the political elements of it and it's non tax paying boss.
So, total respect to you Brian!
