Need a bit of advice about a Vitus 979 frame i recently picked up. I didn't know too much about it before i bought it, i just thought it was very pretty, light and fitted me like a dream. I've now done some research, and im aware of a few of the issues the frame has, such as its flexiness, but im only 10 stone so im hoping it will be ok.
Basically, i would ideally like to get some track ends on it, but being aluminium im not sure if this is possible. Someone told me that nobody will weld aluminium, but then i've seen a few things on here about it being done. Also, is it actually worth it? Its a lovely frame, but im not sure how viable it is fixed...
Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Apologies if this has been asked before, but i can't find it anywhere.
