oh sorry all! I thought I'd get an email notification if something happens in this thread, just seen this week's additions...
no worries lavenell, good luck with the search. talking of leboncoin, in case you don't know that site it's absolutely flooded with all kinds of Vitus bikes for silly money, but suggest you don't look to avoid disappointment because I've also never gotten a seller there to send a bike abroad, all France only. still heartbroken from the time I saw an old Peugeot pop up for 200 EUR which I'm pretty sure was an all original PY10 from the 1970s, possibly worth 10x as much that being said, if someone is selling a Vitus for closer to its actual value (outside France) and you're happy to pay that you may get lucky.
YankeeDan, I'll respond to your questions in a pm, just to make sure not to highjack lavenell's thread
