Vitus 979 Bicycle with Campagnolo Record Groupset c.1981

For sale is this Vitus 979 Duralinox road bike, circa 1981 and made from Vitus 979 Duralinox aluminium composite. Even considering it's age this bike is ridiculously light and rides beautifully and responsively.

Frame size is 57cm BB to TT and Top Tube measures 54cm. I'm 6 foot and it fits me perfectly.

Specifics:

• Duralinox 979 frame in polished silver aluminium finish (decals show their age and frame has scratches and dinks commensurate with age and use (it's aluminium after all))
  
• Campagnolo Record Bottom Bracket
  
• Campagnolo Nuovo Record Threaded Headset
  
• Cinelli Stem and Drop Handlebars (currently with white grip tape)
  
• Campagnolo Record Brake Levers with black hoods and Campagnolo Record Side Pull Calliper brakes with campaign record brake pads. Brake cables may need replacing as rear isn't that responsive.
  
• Front and Rear Campagnolo Record Hubs. Front has a Mavic MA2 Rim whilst rear has Ambrosia Evolution (more recent rebuild) and 5 speed cassette.
  
• SR Royal Crankset (outter ring has been changed to 46T Campagnolo chain ring). Currently has non-matching pedals though one seems to be Campag Record, the other is a random plastic fella.
  
• Campagnolo Pat.81 Nuovo Record Rear Derailleur and Nuovo Record Front Derailleur. Gear Cable appears to need replacing but still works fine.
  
• Braze on Triplex Friction Shifters
  
• Brown Leather 'Turbo' Saddle. nice patina.
  
• Vitoria Zaffiro tyres, barely used.
  
  

The bike shows use commensurate with age. Has only had one owner before me, and all I have done is test ride it and give it a clean. Parts could do with a solid degrease and scrub but runs fine as is and a head turner.

An ace bike with good components!

Any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer. Pick up available from South East London (Peckham) or Shoreditch / City of London. Viewings could possibly be arranged.

POA

It look like the frame been repaired where the down tube joins the bottom head lug?

Yes, I believe it has been repaired at some point but the quality of the work is exceptional. Previous owner was an aerospace engineer and pretty used to working with aluminium!

BUMP. I've lowered the price as the girlfriends demanding the spare room back from the bikes...

POA? post a price mate..

Was asking 350, dropped to 300 now
