"I am looking for a vitus 979 frameset. I ride a 50 or 51 cm frame measured center to center. I would prefer one with the more conventional seatpost binder instead of the screw that goes into the seatpost. gold and light blue are my prefered colors. If anyone has one you'd like to sell please let me know."

steve,

i'm a big fan of small vitus frames, but, just so you know -- the ones with the "more conventional" seatpost binder have a tendency to crack at the binder ears, so be sure to examine that area. the later style is actually structurally superior. if i recall correctly, the earlier style frames with the std post clamp also usually have one set of bottle bosses, rather than two.

2 cents' worth
