Re:

Kingroon, you have an equally nice Vit t, but obviously it's nice to have a collection of bikes, and this Vit t looks stunning, I would be happy to own any Vit T, either design.

Wish bone Vit T! Can't beat a retro USE post, titanium ones are pretty hard finds, I own 3 alloy ones but haven't seen any ti ones in the last 12 months for sale.

I haven't seen this in its finished state yet, but the frame in real life looks really good - factory fresh in fact.

Another subtle and classy build from 'Bikes by Wadsy'
