I've been hankering after a Vit T for a while, and then this one came up as part of a job lot of frames and bits (thanks, futuristiccoldman!), so I took the plunge.
The frame itself needed either polishing or bead blasting, so I decided upon the lazy route and it's heading of to a local metal finishers today.
A few pics of how it is before blasting....

I've bought a pretty much full M737/9 groupset for this, and I'm just waiting for that to arrive.
Bits I have got my grubby mitts on are some lovely offerings from my favourite (one-time) local company....

I plan to get this built up and rideable asap, and then slowly get it exactly as I want it.
