SOLD: Vitus 979 Jan Janssen - Silver 57cm

I'm selling my Vitus 979, Jan Janssen limited edition, with full Shimano Ultegra 6400 (Shimano 600 Tricolor) including STI shifters. This limited edition was marketed in the Netherlands under the name of the Dutch World Champion and winner of the Tour de France, Jan Janssen. 

This is an early aluminium frame constructed by bonding the parts instead of welding. Have a read online about them, they really are quite unique.

This frame isn't in the neatest condition - it's got plenty of nicks and scratches, but might come up nice with a bit of a polish. I've given it a quick clean but could do with something more thorough. The decals should probably be removed as they're pretty tatty.

It has just been fitted with a brand new bottom bracket (Shimano BB-UN55) by the local bike shop. The old BB was slightly too short, meaning the inner chain ring brushed the frame. You can see the wear clearly on the frame.

As previously mentioned, it has full Shimano Ultegra 6400 groupset, which I presume to be original. Shifters working fine but pretty battered and missing the '600' caps on the front.

Also included are:

• Front Wheel: Fulcrum Racing 7
  
• Rear Wheel: Shimano RS21
  
• 3TTT Competizione compact drop bars
  
• Nitto stem
  
• Selcof seatpost 
  
• Selle Italia SC1 Saddle (new)
  
• Vittoria Zaffiro Rigid Clincher Tyres 25mm (new)
  
• LifeLine Road Inner Tubes - Presta 48mm (new)
  
• Deda Elementi Handlebar Tape - blue (new)
  
• Shimano gear cables (outer and inner) (new)
  
• Shimano brake cables (outer and inner) (new)
  
  

The original wheelset had Shimano 600 Tricolor hubs, matching the rest of the bike, with Mavic Open CD rims.  I may have these somewhere, if anyone was interested.

Sizing and spec is as follows:

• Top Tube = 55.5cm CtC
  
• Seat Tube = 57cm CtC (58.5cm CtT)
  
• 170mm crank arms
  
• 52/39 chainset
  
  

It's just had a tune up at the local shop so it's ready to ride.

Can send more photos on request.

Price drop - £200 ono

How old are the wheels on there now, were they fresh on or bought used?

Also, isn't this also on eBay for £175? Sorry to be that guy - but forum rules is the rules...

For £175 I'd be interested!

My bad - hadn’t read the rules properly! eBay listing ended.

Also thought I had it on there for £200.

Price drop £175 Ono!

Sorry can’t remember exactly when I bought the wheels. The fulcrum came off my old bike - maybe 2 years old? The front RS21 is about a year I think.

I’ll offer £160
