Vitus 979 Track Lo-Pro

To be honest its not an expensive frame and I wouldn't go through that much just to get it up and running. I see a few road frames a month on ebay in different colors and someone was trying to shift a low pro track version on here a couple of months back with little luck. I stripped the old decal off the top tube and put these current ones I found on ebay on.

Well, it was custom built for my national track team, so I assume it should be worth more than a run-off-the-mill road Vitus on ebay. Besides, I wanted a lopro for a long time and considering what I paid for the frame I figure the cost of getting it running again will be a fraction of what one would normally cost.

Your decals are by far the nicest I've seen, just looked on ebay, which ones are they'?

Cool, was thinking about taking the same frame from her and do the same plan: find a top tube, fork and make it into riding machine again.
Did not think the top tube was cut out for such stupid purpose (and the fact that they just threw away all 650c forks when I also need one is just annoying).
Glad you bought this - I think this should come out well.
Wonder what they do for tube replacing - do they heat the old glue to melt/loosen it? Sound simple enough to DIY

Thanks, as for the replacement, the old resin loosens up once heated, but as previously stated the hard part is to make a strong bond reassembling the frame.

P.S. Was pointed at a source for the grub screws, 12 dollars for a pack of ten, Was prepared for shelling 50 dorrahs for one, so this was good news.
