Saturday, October 12, 2024 - Whittier Bicycle Swap Meet - 1984 Vitus frame
 |
| Aluminum frame. The main joint areas are cast aluminum. The top tube, down tube and seat tube are round tubes. In this case, the tubes are aluminum (some were made with carbon fiber tubes). They started in 1979 & were sold by several other companies with different branding (such as Peugeot). |
 |
| Rear dropouts are cast with 58/60 cast in it. |
 |
| Seat post clamp bolt is marked Campagnolo. |
 |
| bottle mount on the down tube only |
 |
| The headtube casting is cast with 58 in it. Thus, I'm assuming it's a 58 cm frame (large - usually for people over 6' tall). |
