I wasn't even considering hardware-store epoxy, http://www.systemthree.com/reslibrary/tds/T-88_TDS.pdf been thinking about this one, any clue how the 3m ones would compare in terms of cured strength?
As for the disassembling, i've found the originally used resins are thermoplastic, so just giving it a go with a heat gun should suffice. As for the Jig, i need to get a hold of one, might contact one local framebuilder if I use it.

The bike shop in LA wrote back, so basically i I can't swap the top tube with a seattube, so I'm probably going to have to settle with the internal routing, might file the extruding parts down and install upside down to be less visible, but It's a bit early to think about it.
Also, thanks for all the feedback and support.

So i gave the seller a call and asked what happened to the top tube.
She told me the frame was never crashed and just spent a decade or so in the basement when a few years ago she decided to saw the top tube off because she needed the aluminium tube for purposes I can't comprehend- blasphemy. Also, inquired if they have a matching 650 fork and was told they (the cycle club) threw all of them out a couple of years ago, probable with some other "useless junk", I honestly want to punch them. Anyhow, I'm going to pick the frame up tomorrow and in the meantime have found a shop in LA who used to restore Vitus/Alan/Guerciotti frames. They told me they still have some top tubes in stock, however all of them have internal cable routing, so I asked if I could use a seat tube as a replacement, waiting for the response at the moment. I also mailed Guerciotti, but I doubt they'll write back:

http://www.campyoldy.co.uk/stocklist.htm - won't be cheap though (95quid), and you probably are looking for a fluted one

Totally slipped my mind, thanks! I'll going to drop it off by a repair shop on the way home tomorrow

Thanks. I suppose, I'll ask the seller, but she's just shifting old equipment of a local cycling club, so I doubt she'll know any better.

I'm considering it, but i suppose it would be rather hard to
match the actual color of the other tubes, so might as well
decide on something like this

-tears of joy, going to email them next thing in the morning,
though it was last updated in '08, so i won't keep up my
hopes too high.

About the build itself, I plan on setting it up with cinelli la 84
bullhorns + xa stem, campy strada chainset and hard
anodized rims, still haven't decided on the rest yet.

*DISCLAIMER: The build (and repair) is not going to be fast, my personal expectations are to finish it by next spring, so don't reach into your pants just yet. *

So, today I've bought a Vitus 979 track pursuit frame for peanuts. The catch, however is, well...why don't you take a look yourselves.

My plan is to:

• Disassemble the frame
  
• Source a suiting top tube or get one made
  
• Anodize all the tubes in a new colour (thinking about peach or something along the line)
  
• Rebuild the frame using some Spacecraft-approved epoxy resin
  
  
  

Also, I will be needing a 650c (preferably alloy)fork, If you have one around- PM me.

I'll take some proper pictures once it arrives tomorrow, keep your popcorn ready.

Don't want to be a cunt, but i will.

Is this the same olmo?
If yes, why the fuck did you have it refinished?

I've found some miche pista cranks in a local ad for like 40 Euros, but they're 155. Should I give them a shot? FWIW, I'm 5'10.
