I've used this Rigid Epoxy 5 minute Structural Adhesive on both Vitus aluminium and Vitus Carbon frames, it sets absolutely solid. Althoug they say five minutes, I'd still give it 48 hours to completely cure. Belt and braces maybe, but beyter safe than sorry! These are brand new adhesives and about 2 to 3 times more powerful than what was probably used to bond the Vitus in the first place!
I'vve also used regular Loctite superglue and a soft rubber mallet to tap a down tube back into place onto the bottom bracket. That was nine years ago and still riding it regularly.
