Two winters ago I was looking for a bike to use on my trainer and found one that fit (60) me in a thrift store for $18. It was a 90% mint GT ; pretty sure it's an 1980, had a triple. Label on fork sez Vitus 888 and label on frame Vitus 888 1.0-.8. It was not going to be a trainer bike but where I ride it (WV) is major hills so made a few changes. I SAVED ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS !
I built new 700 wheels, using a Campy hub in the back. Courtesy of my 40 yrs of part accumulation now has 6sp Sun Tour index bar end shifters, Biopace triple crank, a Winner Pro freewheel, a Terry Liberator seat, and new brakes. It weighs 23 .8 oz lbs ready to ride per my Park scale and feels OK at 35 mph. The "ride" is better than my alum frame/carbon fork "modern" bike.
Please note : I SAVED ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS
