Don't trust old carbon off unknown origins, just bid up to the value of the components - that would be my advice...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110950195363

anyone tell me how much this is worth (whether its a bargain or not...)

I'd guess it'll go for between £250 - £350. It's in quite a popular size.


This looks nice. Sounds and looks like it's in good condition and it's not far from me. Would you say it's worth the £200 or just a good deal at £140?

What's SMS? Is that the tubing? What sort of size would medium be?

SMS is a Reynolds tubing, seemed to be around in the 80's. Not quite sure of it's quality compared to 501 / 531 etc but it felt light enough rode well on my old Keith Coppell.

SMS appears to be quite heavy according to the info here:

http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=113715

Apparently it was a replacement for 531 plain gauge tubing, for touring/city bikes.

cheers, I'll keep an eye on it

Ask about the cranks and mechs: can't see clearly in the pics and curious they aren't mentioned.

I've been looking at that Vitus 992. These frames look just great.
I'm looking for one and although this one is just a bit too small (especially too short TT), it may fit. But the size, combined with the price, made me decide not to make an offer.
