Bargain for the right sized rider

Re: 58cm Vitus 979 Duralinox Dark Blue

That's the best colour for a 979 Dural, wish I still had mine

Re: 58cm Vitus 979 Duralinox Dark Blue

Do any other sellers gate plagued with absolute timewasters? Measure this, measure that, how many bits of rubber per hectare are on the tyre treads? How long will the postage take? Haggle, Haggle - I don't want it now because I've read my stars in the Sunday People and blue is not my lucky colour etc etc etc.

Re: 58cm Vitus 979 Duralinox Dark Blue

What age is the bike?

Re: 58cm Vitus 979 Duralinox Dark Blue

Andrew - I think about 1988 or 89? It's the Mark II with the single seatpin bolt at the rear.

Re: 58cm Vitus 979 Duralinox Dark Blue

yup, sounds about right to me too - the violet one that i had, i bought
in 1989. nice old bike indeed..

HAHAHAH Yes!!

Forums seem to attract this in droves...for hassle free its ebay all day long, the fees are well worth it in order to avoid the penniless wasters!

Think this is bad...try Mamil (oops sorry I mean Bike) radar :facepalm:

hi, many thanks for your photos and information regarding your car.
UNFORTUNATELY, i'm not in the position to BUY just now as

b. i need to PERSUADE the WIFE to let me buy another car

c. i have suddenly encurred storm damage to the house and need
to pay for expensive repairs

d. one or more of my family members is very ill so i'll have to put it on the back
burner just now - but THANKS for your time..

e. it's just a BIT TOO FAR TO TRAVEL but best of luck in your sale

f. i'd really rather have a capri

g. i prefer the mk 3 cortina - it's just MORE me

h. it's beyond my budget

i. would you swap it for a 1986 lancia beta hpe project plus cash MY way?!!
