Freecycle: Vitus 979 Frame & Fork, 51cm *DAMAGED*

Vitus 979 frame and fork, free to any home/non-ferrous scrap merchant.

I was given this frame a while ago and it’s sat indoors since. It’s in OK nick apart from one of the seat clamp ears has cracked. The previous owner had drilled through the seat post and used a bolt to secure it.

This frame is hence likely destined for the skip, but after Googling I did come across several ‘fixes’ of varying merit that had been done to similar broken frames, and it would be a shame to toss this one if it could be saved by someone.

Complete with new-looking 25mm seat post, crunchy Stronglight headset and smooth BB.

Collection only, E10

Fuck that’s lovely. No idea where to even begin with getting it fixed but stupidly tempted....

It is a lovely looking frame. I ended up getting hold of a purple one and building it up as a single-speed poncemobile purely one the basis of the way this one looks.

Will take it if still available

It’s yours; send me a message with when you can collect.

Any chance I could grab the fork please? Got a frame super in need of a lovely chrome fork!! Thanks

If it's not gone - happy to take the whole frame also!

@billygoat8 has first dibs, second & third noted.

@Z4k the frame is 51cm so the steerer is rather short, and alloy so can’t easily be extended

It's to fit on a 54cm lopro so I think it would be perfect! But I understand billygoat has first dibs. Pmed him to see if we can come to some arrangement

I was told that Vernon Baker is the go to for such frames, give them a call.

This has now gone.

@billygoat8 Good luck with it! Send photos once it’s been fixed/built up.

Will do. Hoping to do something similar to your one.
