FS: Vitus 979 52cm Campy 8 Speed salvage job - £60

Up for sale, my poor beleaguered Vitus build, my trusty commuter bike for the last 5 years. A few months ago I discovered the rear mech and hanger knocked off, after it had been locked up outside for an hour. I've contemplated fixing it myself by putting on one of those Problem Solvers "Universal Emergency" Derailleur Hangers but I've simply not the time. So I'm selling it to someone who is wiling to do that bit of work. Or, failing that, just make use of the components. I've priced this based on the included components, as I'd consider the frame a freecycle item in light of its condition as set out below:

The frame:
Legendary Vitus 979. 52cm ctt on the seat tube and about 53.5 ctc on the top tube. Aside from the snapped rear derailleur hanger, some previous owner removed the shifter bosses; a shimano band-on shifter mount is doing the job now. Some missing decals and plenty of marks from use.

Other bits: Campy headset/bb (centaur i think)/cranks / front mech.

Rear mech (athena?) appears to be damaged due to whatever happened to the hanger. I can include (for free) if really desired but I haven't factored it into the price.

8 Speed Campagnolo ergo shifters - these worked perfectly with a 7 speed shimano freewheel!

Shimano M324 combi pedals.

Campy Velcoce breaks.

Grub screw Seatpost, Battered rolls saddle, v short GB stem and some anonymous drop bars round out the package.

I'd ideally like to hold on to the wheelset for a future build. But that may change in the near future.

Let's say £65 for the bike as described above? Basically everything attached the bike in the photos minus the wheels and bell.

If I'm off the mark on price I'm happy to entertain any offers! Any questions just ask.
