Tighten that chain, then you get my vote as it looks nice and polished. Right up my street

Thanks! yup, two things I have to do is remove a link and replace the inner chainring with a larger one... I'll get to it shortly

Thanks!!

@shutter

... is it really a 992 for my opinion it's a 979 - I have a black-red Lotto couloured 992 here (see pic) it has Ovoid top tube and a nearly straight forks
This bike look like a really beautiful Vitus 979

your bike is a 992. I have three 992's, two are purple like the one I posted pics of, and another one is just like yours but it's blue and black.

The easy way to tell if you have a 992 is to look at the fork as it will have a distinct look with integrated headset. The headset could be Vitus or mavic branded.

979's have a more traditional style fork (still aluminum) and will take a normal headset

It is a 3TTT but to be honest I can't remeber what JD whiskers said it was. All I know it is 135mm a bit flext but very pretty and it means I fit the bike well now. It maybe Record 84 no idea.
