A beautiful and rare Aluminum Vitus 979 Dural in Violet.
**Delivery possible within reason**
Unfortunately I am moving and cant take this beauty with me. I bought it a few months ago as a commuter and it received a full tune up at Landry's.
The Vitus 979 is a legendary frame with a storied history in racing. Extremely lightweight and quick, in overall good condition and with some great components to boot!
Here are some links going into the history of Vitus frames:
https://on-the-drops.blogspot.com/20...vitus-979.html
*Components*
Campagnolo crankset and pedals
Campagnolo rear wheel
Specialized front Wheel
Cinelli drop handlebars
H20 Quill Stem
Shimao 600 Derailur
Shimano RSK Shifters
Vitus - $400 (Brighton)

$30 for a Schwinn Mirada with 650B wheels and newish Panaracer Col De La Vie tires in Michigan. I'd buy this for the wheels in a heartbeat.

May not be a real Serotta but for $250 it's worth checking out.

If you're good with bonded frames this is a goodun for that ultra-cool stem alone.

Here is a question for the thread/forum.
So, the blue De Rosa above is my size and around 10 minutes from me.
About 10 minutes in the other direction
Both are in somewhat rough shape and have their flaws. The Bottecchia has some rusty areas. Both are just riders at this point. I've never had an Italian bike. Given their prices and conditions which bike is the better deal?

I ended up with both of these bikes… they both needed work, but between the two I ended up with a nice mostly period correct de rosa. If I would have gotten a ready to ride de Rosa for the price of what I paid for both bike, plus some spare parts, I’d have been ok with that.
The Bottecchia looked like it had some rust problems on the TT and ST. The spot on the lower ST looked troublesome. I was the next person behind you scheduled to see it.

I didn't have any real interest in the De Rosa, but some other members did. I was going to take a look for them. I contacted the seller on a Friday afternoon to set up a time, and he didn't get back to me till mid day Saturday. I'd made plans by then, so responded to set up a time for Sunday. The seller wouldn't respond back with a possible Sunday time. Then on Sunday afternoon, he starts sending me responses saying the bike is ready to ride. I went through 3 or 4 days of that, then said F-it.
The Bottecchia looked like it had some rust problems on the TT and ST. The spot on the lower ST looked troublesome. I was the next person behind you scheduled to see it.

the de Rosa definitely needed work. Brake lever bodies were cracked bad. Wheels were mismatched. The frame was straight tho, and the drivetrain was solid so I had to take it home. Put a brooks swallow on it and some vintage roval tubular wheels on, and the Veloce aero levers from the bottecchia and it rides amazingly.
