Nice bike. It looks like a Deore 18ax but without the Deore or ax components and only 12 gears. The Showa rear rack is probably worth more than the asking price

I had one of these in really great condition, but frame was too big for me. Think I sold it to Sprocket or RobT ?
See these occasionally and they are almost exclusively in this gold colour. They look superb 'in the flesh'.

They look superb 'in the flesh'. This is the one that you introduced me to, Jem. An Aerospace Grand Sport. Viscount Grand Sport by RMT@261, on Flickr More special to me as it was originally supplied in my home city, by a real bike shop that still exists today: Untitled by RMT@261, on Flickr I still have it, but can't remember the last time I took it out. It's a lovely bike to ride though, at 5"11", I'm only just tall enough for the frame. Here are some more shots of it in the wild: Untitled by RMT@261, on Flickr DSC02503 by RMT@261, on Flickr DSC02510 by RMT@261, on Flickr

Thanks for clarification Rob. I recall now. It isn't the same as the eBay one.
As Cusqueno says, it is more of a Deore 18 style frame, and not an Aerospace.
By the way, that is a great shot of the bike against that green wooden garage. Love it.

Rob, that is such a nice bike. I also have a couple of bikes that are a bit large, and a couple that are a bit small, all are manageable.
Cheers Jim

It must have been a good one, already sold.
