I have a 54cm Vitus frame, but it's not the popular 979 model.
This model is the 787, I think from the early 80's and I can find very little information about it.
If memory serves, French threading was different than Italian or English and I'm looking for a bottom bracket and crankset for it.
A) Can I just get a Phil Wood bb that is period correct with French threading?
B) This frame is painted, but aluminum would it be possible to have it stripped and anodized?
I'm building it as a single speed townie as we have miles and miles of paved trails here in Folsom Calif. (yes, near the prison).
Cheers,
