Just picked this up today, and I'm looking forward to fixing it up and getting it rolling. Something different for me - a bonded (aka glued) Vitus 979 from the 80s!
I've been curious about these since they were first introduced in the late 70s, and ridden by a number of pros, probably most notably Sean Kelly of Ireland. This one showed up locally on Facebook, at a price that seemed reasonable, in a size that will fit me. The tires (yet another bike with sewups!) are completely shot, so I couldn't take it for a test ride, but I've heard enough about these that I figured it was worth the risk.
Stay tuned for more news on the bike as I get a chance to start working on it, and then riding it!
