    Early Vitus 979

    The decals look modern-very similar to the one’s I’ve applied to my blue Vitus of similar vintage.I have several Vitus 979s and the original decals are fragile and look very different.

    Vitus 979

    There’s a pic of this in another part of the forum but in case you missed it I’ve put it here as well. I bought this next to new Vitus 979 from the cycle jumble ( Brocante sounds much classier!) at Anjou Velo Vintage several years ago and for several reasons,including scarcity of French thread...

    Anjou Velo Vintage

    It’s a fantastic event!Somewhat bigger than the first one in 2011.... I still haven’t recovered from the Authentic in 2019 so opted for the 65k and 40k- great rides ! Getting tickets has become increasingly difficult- French Glastonbury!

    No Anjou Vélo Vintage in 2022

    The Tour de Rance 2022 would certainly be worth going to,but unfortunately the website states that there is still some uncertainty about whether Covid safety requirements will prevent it going ahead.There will be some news at the end of March. Such a shame about Vélo Vintage- it was fantastic...
