Vitus

Can I be so bold as to submit my recently finished Vitus 992. A bit of an eBay queen but it's my main rider and is a real joy. Zonda wheels and a Athena/Chorus mix but the ride is great and it really puts a smile on my face whenever I ride it.

Doesn't matter whether its a lovely Vitus like yours or a beater pub bike, thats all that really matters right there :)

Only cosmetic but the handlebar tape sucks :oops:

Other than that it looks a rather nice bike :cool:

Ha, i was waiting for that. I pondered over the colour, but figured black or silver would be lame, just wanted something neutral and stand alone, so settled for classic Cinelli camo-yellow

Hope your not offended mate :!:

I'd have gone for Ambrosio Tape in white or black but after-all its your bike and if your happy its got nothing to do with anyone else ;)

Have you seen that 'carbon effect' Cinelli tape ? Looks mint !

I was waiting a nice sunny day to take some decent photos but a) it doesn't look like London is going to be blessed with sun for a while and b) my camera let me down so I tought I throw my Tecnos to the battle field anyway with the crappy mobile-photos I have.
