Vitus 979 Dura-Ace 7400 Groupset and Wheels, with Claris Shifters 58cms

Vitus 979 with Dura Ace derailleurs, brakes, chainset & hubs.
Shifters: Claris (modern).
Wheels: Dura Ace hubs and Mavic Open 4 CD rims
Stem: 3TTT
Seatpost: Dura Ace (?)
Bars: Cinelli
Headset: Shimano 600

Everything works perfectly. The Claris shifters work really well with the Dura Ace front and rear derailleurs and 8 speed cassette. Shifting is dead on.
Dura Ace 7400 (7402?) 8 speed STI shifters are available on eBay quite often for around 80 quid if you want the full Dura Ace look.
The seatpost is secured with a grubscrew (it´s a post ´86 frame) but that works fine too.
All in all a brilliant, light bike that is a match for most modern bikes, but looks a lot nicer IMHO. The ride is super comfortable without the frame losing stiffness. I´m 80kgs and never had a problem with flex. Also the bonded tubes are still well bonded. I can´t imagine you´d be able to unbond them if you tried.

I´ve bough a titanium bike which takes guards and a rack as my all-rounder, and unfortunately haven´t got room for both bikes. I´ll miss it though :(
It´s in good condition with the usual light scratches for a bike of its age. No cracks, dings, dents etc.
I´m 6´2" and it´s fine for me. I probably would fit a 60cm frame better though.
£450 o.n.o.
Collection only please. I live near Clapham Common or could meet in Grays Inn Road.

Nice rare all silver what size?

58cms

It's a real beauty, even with the Claris.

Can vouch for him too.

Thanks Ed. The Claris shifters work really well, but yes, they are Claris. Completing the DA groupset would be neat.

Still available? (PM'd a few days ago)

Yes, but was about to break it down and sell the parts.
