WANTED: French frame 54cm

I'd like to trade down to a smaller size 979, I have a 55/57 in all silver, mk3 (grub screw) and in good condition. I bought it when I didn't know loads about how centimetres work. I now have almost a full Mavic groupset for it, but I think if I'm going to fully commit it should be the right size for me. Looking for the 52/54 edition please, any colour considered.

Or if someone wants to sell me one in the right size, and someone wants to buy this one for roughly the same price that works too :)

Bump

I have a 54 frame only I am looking to sell for not much - you could swap everything over that way?

Still have the vitus for sale/trade (potential buyer found)
Looking for a french frame from around 1980-90 that's a bit interesting, mecacycle, alain michel, vitus carbon, altec etc
Size 53 or 54cm.
To house my Mavic SSC group :)

I've got a Courtois in that size, pm if interested, thanks.

I Have a Motobecane F+F £40 includes BB if needed cheers

Hi, don't think I'm interested unless there is anything special about the frame (team model etc) this is quite a special groupset and deserves a frame with a some prestige imo
Cheers!

I have a 52cm 979 frame in light blue I'm wanting to move on - only annoyance is a previous owner ground off the shifter bosses so I've been using a band-on.

If you look in the middle of your shifter bosses, you'll see a screw head. That's a bar that goes right through the tube to the other shifter boss. I think if you push or drill the bar out of my frame, you can unscrew the ones on your frame and use them.

Yeah man I'm familiar with grinding off the shifter bosses - did it on the vitus track conversion that I still haven't finished. I remember you PMed me about which epoxy to use!
I know it's picky but I'm not into the blue vituses (viti?) - cheers though!

I remember you PMed me about which epoxy to use!

Agh, my memory is so bad! Sorry man, I completely forgot that was you :(

Bump!
more ideas of frames I might be interested in: Cycles Tilly, TVT, any french built Lo Pro from the correct era in the right size :)

Still looking!

@Jonny69 I'm interested in your vitus, I are you still looking to move it?

Definitely not special so good luck in yr quest

Hi, I've got a 53cm Carbon Look frame & forks (think it's a KG166 if I remember correctly, but I'll confirm that if you're interested).
It's got a full Campag groupset on though. A mix of Record, Chorus, Athena etc.
Mint condition, hardly ever ridden.
I'd accept £500
