Also where do i find the 979 with Dura Ace?
Just keep going thru
Robster's gallery, its after the last Perthus photo. I'm glad i was a bit cheeky and kept snooping, it was a nice surprise to find the photos of another fantastic bike.
They both deserve a bit of a write up
Robster. 2 of (arguably) the best French frames ever IMO with some of Shimano's finest. Lovely pair of bikes.
Yes definitely the Vitus deserves a post, in my view that iteration of Dura Ace was the classiest, proper indexing, powerful brakes and great bearings. The Vitus/Dura Ace combo is smart, and as you might know I like a good Vitus equipped with the correct period kit! Top marks Robster for keeping this in great condition. Wish I had looked after mine this well, I raced this stuff but it was trashed after a couple of seasons of heavy racing, also the parts that I rescued died after salt got to it on my winter bikes

don't think i've ever seen a unrestored Perthus in such good condition. That has been very well looked after and is a credit to you. I am currently (STILL!) 
restoring a Perthus Pro and if it turns out half as good as yours, i'll be happy.
