Vitus 979 Track Lo-Pro

Thanks guys, but no puppy killing was nescessary. (a matching roadie would be a blast, Erik, can't justify one just now, though.;) )

Haven't bonded it yet, trying to think up a simple jig to hold the headtube laterally straight.

So hot.

Just change that saddle

Oh Dwight.. What's wrong with the saddle, though? I like the 80s/90s vibe to it, which suits the vitus, too, well, In my opinion.

Saddle is perfect.

Still think forks are back to front.

Just need some decals!

Okey, okey, I just needed to mention some imperfection, cause I'm so jealous :) For the saddle I just dont like that little yellow accent, maybe the flite or concor supercorsa without bright colors would fit better ?

This bike is totally amazing..

Still think forks are back to front.

I just noticed this too.. It must be optical illusion though?

Oh and I love the 6 spoke rear ;)

Just for the two of you,
;-)
the wonky rear wheel is just for proping purposes until a proper holed archetype arrives

Thanks, but I'm way ahead of you.:D the yellow accent is intended, as I'll be putting yellow vitus decals on it once finished with the frame repair.

Im disarmed.

Bang thats right

Looks amazing, should leave the top tube bare, looks good!

thanks, will do! It's not finished, but at least rideable, had its maiden voyage today and it was a blast.

I really like the flow of silver from rear triangle through top tube and forks....

Looks sick , any trouble getting the top tube machined

Awe-some!

Thats some chainring.

Top tube needs wrap/anodising in fade of pink/yellow.

EDIT. Added potatoshop. (Getting carried away) :oP

What a fucking beautiful bike

What a crazy project. Well done it looks amazing.

Stunning, it turned out amazing. :) How did you manage to fit the top tube in the end?

Absolutely beautiful with the bar-tape (well, kind of) in that colour.

I think if you got a Concor saddle in black suede, had bar-tape that colour and got a black front tub, that would be one of the most beautiful track bike ever

i think thats perfect as it is. (bar the extra spokes) clearance is also not as mental anymore because of the additton of the tt.. clappingmoustacheguyintuxedo.gif

Thanks for the kind words, I'm a bit overwhelmed.

I'm not very competent to answer this as I didn't do it myself, but the metal shop told me it was a bit tricky to set up the lathe because of the small inside diameter of the tubing stock.

Hah, the gradient is a bit too much for my liking, however I originally intended to get the tt anodised, but the cost of it and a few potatoshops made me decide otherwise, it seems I'm not the only one who digs the silver toptube, though.:)

Stunning, it turned out amazing. :) How did you manage to fit the top tube in the end?

Well, I got away without a jig, as the joints were a pretty close fit, so I just aligned the headtube parallel to the seattube with a digital bubble level and clamped that sucker. Was a bit anxious for the whole curing time that I may have fucked up, but the frame is true and rides straight which was a major relief.:)

I haven't found a matching shade anywhere so I just went for black as IMO anything but a perfect matching purple would look shit.

Well, getting some decals made tomorrow so the end is in sight, however I'm having doubts regarding tires:
Should I get a gumwall (pasela or that shitty BLB) for the rear or a black front?

Nevermind bar angle and slack chain.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

p.s. What is a front rim?

Absolutely stunning. Great work!

^^ Thanks, it's a Fir EA10

Gummies pls
