Old bikes worth anything?

[the_guvnor_1_uk]

Hello, my name is Andy. I have just joined here as I was linked from a motorcycle forum I use when I asked about old push bikes.

I have just been given what appears to be a Royal Enfield (revelation)

And an old british racer called a viscount.

If anyone would be able to give me any information or point me in the right direction I would be grateful.

Thanks in advance.


Andy.

Don't know much about these bikes, but I can surf!

Leave the bikes with the engines alone, and use your legs!

Pics would help greatly. IIRC the Viscount isn't particularly exotic but the Enfield might be.
Speaking of 'motorbike' cycles, herself has a BSA ladies' 3-speed, heavy wheels but overall quite a light bike.

The Viscount can be a bit of a quirky machine. Which type is it? Is it an Aerospace?

You don't need to do much research nowadays - just put them up on ebay for the best price!

If the Viscount is an Aerospace has it's original aluminum fork it'll be worth more to a collector but definitely not rideable as they were the subject of a recall due to failures.
