Hi all,
thought I would share my latest find with you - I saw this advertised not too far away, and I've always fancied a Vitus 979, but finding a larger frame is quite hard - at 58cm this is perfect for me.
Anyway, went to look at it - a retired farmer bought it new in the early 90's - he pulled it out of a scruffy old barn and frankly it's in great condition. Added bonus were the Weinmann delta pro brakes and extra added bonus a pair of FT super rolling hubs on the wheelset - no, I've never heard them either. I'll have to add some extra links to the chain and get a larger free wheel more suitable for the hills around here, and it should be good to go.
