Nice looking Sport with a modest description on eBay. Shimano 600 front & rear derailleurs, Tourney brakes and other Shimano bits, SR Apex chain set. Very good pictures! I'd change the pedals, saddle and remove or change the rack. Otherwise, good to go and all ready for DFR2. I would say that the frame is more likely to be 22" than 23" though (56cm rather than 58.5cm). Just looks smaller.

I'd agree on the 22", just by looking at the head tube. Nice looking bike. The pedals are original and heavy as a brick.

Viscount must have taken their eye off the ball to put such clunky steel pedals on a nice bike. I thought they went from the Lambert/Viscount needle bearing ones to 'Olimpic 64s' (made by Zeus I think - nice Campy copies) on the Aerospace bikes.

Very nice. If I'm not mistaken, those front & rear reflectors were on it when it was sold new.
Therefore, this hasn't seen much action.

That bikes stock I think. Original front tyre. Wonder what that will go for? Nice bike., I like the colour.

The saddle isn't nice but it is stock. Judging by bar tape, it's done almost zero miles. EDIT- Just looked closer, the bar tape is a later addition. I love those mudguards and mud flap.
It will be interesting to see what it goes for.

The originals were heavy steel pedals and rather smashed when I got the blue Sport. Maybe a case of 'let's slap those pedals on' for they had temporarily run out of parts?
