Bob- A question. How do you know that the tubing is Vitus Team 750? My current 1975 one, the 1973 and the 1974 I had all had a decal like this

I always was led to believe that the tubing was privet labeled from one of the Japanese tube drawing companies. Either Ishiwata or Tange being the two most likely companies.

Any way about the brand, the wall thickness of the main frame is probably 1x.7x1mm. given the feel.

I think it's cool that these fine Asian made bikes are being recognized.
