  That’s some good food for thought. I didn’t really think much of the bars until now.

  Thanks for the idea, what is your opinion on ahead adapters? The reason I kept my cockpit the way it is is because of the Stronglight headset - I really like the looks of it and it is quite rare as far as I know?

  Thanks for the tips! I will consider the stem, it is just a bit too long for me. About the seatpost - Vitus apparently was not a fan of standard seatpost diameters - Argals came with this extremely narrow 24.3mm seatpost so basically if you have one you are stuck with it. I like it nevertheless.
  Will keep posting when buying new stuff :)

  Hey everyone, where I live everything closed down again so I decided to make use of all the free time we got and rebuild my old Vitus Argal. I was on a very very tight (student) budget but I think it worked out very well (plus I got all the parts in mint condition real cheap). There is a day and night difference in the ride quality, I love it. I didn’t really know what to expect because I am not an experienced cyclist and this is my first build. What do you guys think? (some thing still need to be changed - stem, pedals, bottle cages and a black bar tape) :)
