Road Bicycle Viscount Lambert 60 CM [6' to 6'5"] - $195 (st.petersburg)

Viscount Lambert Aeropostale Road Bike 60 CM for 6' to 6'5" hand made in England Shift at Handle Bars with price to sell cheap.$195 

 

Another Viscount popping up.  To refresh, these were cheap bikes of odd design that Sheldon Brown points out are cursed with both tubing prone to cracking and the so called "fork of death," an aluminum steerer tube  tacked to a steel fork that was very prone to failure.  

And again, even without those safety issues, the bike comes in overpriced.  I think it must be the 'rarity' of these that makes people list them so high.  This is a perfect example as to how irrelevant rarity is.  You dont see them because they were dangerous to keep riding, and most of them probably wound up on a heap.  You might like to replace the fork as a project to get practice, but even then there isn't must to want to keep here.  This bike would have to be priced under $50 to be a buy.
