1984 57cm Vitus 979 Racing Bike Full Dura Ace 7400

VINTAGE 1984 57cm VITUS 979 Beautiful Road Racer NOTE: I replaced the 600 crankset with Dura Ace to make the group set a complete Dura Ace 7400 set. In the mid 80’s Vitus 979 bikes were the mac-daddy aluminum bikes to ride.  I didn’t have that kind of cash so I rode a Cannondale.  One of my buddies road a Vitus and I was always looking at it and dreaming.  I bought this one in the mid 2000’s way after they the bike world has passed them on.  I found that they still provide a great ride AND people stop to look and comment on them. Frame has orange (rare it seems to me) anodized (not painted) tubes with polished silver aluminum lugs and a standard seat post clamp.  The wheelset is super light and race worthy and give the bike that extra pop and gets a lot of comments.   Parts alone are worth more that the listing price, someone will be getting a great deal.
