Another that I'll not get round to. 1990 Sakae Litage FX bonded aluminium road frameset, a really neat design that was lighter and stiffer than any comparably priced steel frame of the time and looked like the future to boot. These frames were often rebranded for other manufactures (a la Alan/Vitus) including 3Rensho. I have owned bonded alloy bikes by Alan, Vitus, Bridgestone, Reflex, Sakae and something else French, the Japanese ones are built better!
Great original condition, some crazing under the lacquer but no looseness/cracks/dents/unbonding, all threads good and it includes a period correct Suntour headset (needs a grease) too as its a simlar grey anodised colour. The wishbone seat stay is a particularly nice touch, it has good clearances, double bottle mounts and internal cable routing, would make a great retro-mod road bike.
Suntour headset included, technical info below, asking £250 collected from SE19 or N1, I also have some period correct Sakae FX stem and correct sized seatpost available at and additional £25 to the buyer if wanted.
Just over 2 .3 kg with headset
Dropout spacing 100 / 126 mm OLN
54.5 cm Top Tube (c to c)
53 cm Seat Tube (c to c)
1”British / BSC thread headset (Suntour installed)
British thread / BSC bottom bracket
127 mm long head tube
98 cm wheelbase
700c wheel
25.8 seat post
If someone has a yearning for a retro Vitus style bonded alloy build the build /bonding quality on these was great ,a real step up as was the vitus 992

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
