• fredjacktucker,

    I'm 99.99% sure your frame is one of the mid 70s Vitus frames.
    There is the Super Vitus Grun which was made of the Vitus 971 tubing and is almost identical match of your frame. Back then that tubing was compared to the Reynolds 531. Could be the case with your frame too.

    The lugs of your frame are Bocama Super Professional. Along with the absence of mudguard eyelets on the dropouts of your frame, and the double derailleur cable holders makes me tend to believe it is serious racing frame.

    You have got a very nice frame there.

    After all I'm no expert. Hope what I gave you is correct and would help you identify the exact make/model of your frame.

    Have a look at the following pages if you would like:

    Pretty much spot on. rear brake cable guides and rack eyelets tell us so much.

    It was a very nice mid 70's vitus frame. The dropouts if you take the rear wheel out may say super vitus.

    The seatpost looks like a simplex slj the original. Many parts have been updated, the cranks campagnolo super record, brakes, seat all added on in 1980 ish the rear derailleur a little later 80's.

    I have a very very similar frame, take a look
