  • sold!

  • What speed is the rear cassette?

  • 7 i think...i'll check and let you know.

  • Coolio. I might be interested in the groupset if you split it. Are the hubs Ultegra?

  • the bike is in london so i can't check myself but i think they are shimano rsx.
    if you willing to take the group that be great also if you could send that frame back to me also that be awesome...i just bend it back and ride it:-).
    i would be paying for postage of course.

  • I'd be careful about bending that back (as it's Alu). You could always remove a spacer from the axle on that side to compensate. Also, those Vitus frames are flexy, so shoudn't be too hard to squeeze a few milimeters when fitting the wheel .

  • Sash
    First sorry to hear this got messed ip during the post =>sucks balls!
    Second, If you are calling splits, dibs front wheel pending price and would it polish up to chrome color?

  • it's here to be split!
    so whoever want something you can have it:-)
    pick up only though.

    thanks sash

  • Dibs on seatpost, depending on diameter

  • Dibs on seatpost, depending on diameter

    I believe 25mm on Vitus 979 frames

  • Are the brake levers, Shimano 600 tricolour? What condition are the hoods in?...feels like fighting over bits of a carcass!

    Can't you claim against the courier.....it was insured?

  • ^^You’re probably right. I’m looking for a 27.0. I’ve got an Alan which will be much the same as this, and I know it’s not 27.0, so doubt this is either. I need a post for something else.

    yes..Alan take 25mm seatposts too.

  • sorry should have explained the situation a bit better....

    the bike is in london at the guys place i sold it to.
    i obviously can't expect him to take it apart and also can't expect him to have 30 people come to his house and take parts off the bike.

    so if some one wants to take the lot that would be best.
    but just the wheels or group should also be ok if take it off the bike yourself:-)

    sorry about the mess but i'm just trying to keep everyone happy.

  • dibs on the saddle if you split, PM coming...

    Yes..it would be bad form to have 30 or so scavengers turn up......though it would be amusing in a way...especially if he was not expecting the devouring hoard with screw drivers to turn up out of the blue....i retract my questions.

    However, your damage, if the bike was properly packed should be covered by the carriers insurance.

  • the carrier(dhl) is blaming royal mail and royal mail is blaming dhl.
    as it was posted via dhl but delivered by royal mail.
    also there was no obvious damage to the box or at least it wasn't reported to the courier when received.
    i been in touch with dhl and will of course try and claim whatever is possible but to hones it was only insured for 95 quid which i didn't know before!

  • The bike is at my flat in SW8, off S Lambeth Rd. Really bummed about the damage as was looking forward to getting this bad boy out on the road.

    Anyway I think the best thing is to arrange a time that I'll be there and then whoever is coming for parts can show up then - Sat morning is good for me, say 10am - 1pm.

    Sash - just let me know who is coming for what and how much etc

  • you've heard it now!
    so if anyone is interested in any parts and can pick up saturday please pm me!

  • anyone?

  • No can't make that...so good luck to the vultures that do turn up!

  • hi pm

  • pm'd

  • anyone?otherwise i'll ebay it.

  • Sorry to hear about this and very decent of you to be doing this sash...might take the saddle mate. PM incoming...
