Bill Roberts asked about the infamous Viscount death fork... If a magnet doesn't stick to the blades, and it looks like aluminum, I'd assume a death fork in this case, since it sounds like it is unlikely that your Dad had it replaced, at least with another aluminum fork. harvey sachs mcLean va

Hello,

My dad has a vintage Viscount to sell, mid-70's vintage and around 55cm. I'll have to go give it a thorough checking over to get all the details. Get back to me off-list if interested. It's in good shape, just a few scratches. It was ridden for a couple of years, and been in storage ever since. All original and complete. I rode it a few times back in the day. From what I recall, it was a pretty nice bike.

Also, can anyone tell me how to identify the whether it has the 'death fork'?
