Whattaya need to know? Random thoughts: They ride nicely. English threads, so no problem there. IMO, too soft for big (I'm really thinking "fat") guys, and I know from experience. Nice looking, cool colours, if you like that sort of thing (I do). Sean Kelly won a zillion races on them in Europe. The carbon models break, the alu models are reliable. IMO, under maybe 56 cm, and/or for a lighter rider, a very nice bike. I consider Viti to be close to the most desireable small woman bike -- smooth riding in small sizes. 25.0 seat post -- usually frames come with their posts. I might have a use for it myself, for the wifely unit -- she's on one of the Guerciotti/Alans which were recently discussed on the list, and the Vitus is a nicer bike. Let me know.

Another two cents' worth.
