  • no interest in the magnificent bike?

  • People are frightened of these bikes.

    Silly really. World Cyclocross Champions many times over but people think every one if these frames will break.

    Beautiful frame.

  • well they do occasionally come un bonded ^

  • Probably no less frequently (proportionately) than brazed lugs ...but that is what makes them special. Given that they were screwed and glued, less likely to catastrophic failure than--dare I say it--carbon!

    I like these frames a lot as the anodizing produces some stunning colours.

    Don't much like the decals though!!!

  • i prefer the Vitus ones especially the 992 in purple. so good.

  • I have a blue 992 with full dura ace. Stunning.

    I agree. The needle bearing headset is a joy. Bought it new in '92 and commuted daily with a 35 mile round trip.

  • A lovely Alan carbonio just sold on ebay for £411
    Wanted it but was collection only & too far away

    Yours is a lovely bike, but may be a little over priced?
    Too big for me though :o(
