NEW BIKEI'm in the process of buying a new bike. French make, Vitus is the name - beautifully finished bikes. Just wondered if any of you had heard of this make and if so what do you think?http://www.vitus.fr/fr/accueil.html Just click on "route" to see the range of road bikes. |

Did kelly ride one of those badboys? | ||||

Hubby has one somewhere in the stable..............although he mostly rides bikes he has built himself. | ||||

BB - is your Hubby a frame builder??? | ||||
| sheeponabike |
Yes he did. I think they were the first, or one of the first, to build an all aly frame. It had lugs and the tubes were bonded in. Very elegant looking things. |

BB, can you ask him what he thinks of it? And also what he knows of the make? |

Sheep, as far as I do remember Vitus was huge at the early and mid 90īs, a lucky guy that rode for the local team had one, and I couldnīt take my eyes of it, beautiful!!!!!! go for it!!! | ||||

Cheers Bergar.
I've been biting my nails worrying if i'd made the wrong decision! |

Very swish looking things from what I remember. Black tubes with Silver Al lugs ... only they wern't really lugs of course it being a composite frame ... but you know what I mean | ||||

looks good, pity it doesnt have the Cinelli stem anymore. I miss those old style stems | ||||

I've got one or two knocking about in my dads loft - and some Cinelli 66 bars. |
