For the past month, I've been working on building up the 1970's Super Vitus 971 frame made for a French bicycle store near Grenoble called Piasentin.
The wheels and the 7-speed Shimano 105C components are from a donor Diamondback Master TG while I've purchased the Sugino Mighty Tour crankset, Tektro R539 brakes, saddle, along French-diameter stem and handlebars. There have been a few hiccups along the way including the original bottom bracket spindle being for a triple, not double crankset, and the reach on the 105 calipers being too short.
There's only some fine tuning to do now, so I hope to take the Piasentin out for its maiden ride tomorrow.
