Woah good shout. I should amend that to "the marketing concept Bikepacking".

Almost exactly like mine, a year earlier maybe in that your seat tube has a sleeve at the top and the pace forks have the chrome brace on the back whereas mine had a cast and machined alloy brace on the back - cooks rather than topline, ritchey rims, xtr gearing... did it come like that new?
I suggest you ruthlessly track it down through successive owners like a Hollywood action film and stop at nothing to get it back.
It is after all, the pinnacle of Lightweight go anywhere cycling.

(And by pinnacle I dont mean that halfordsalike chainstore obvs)

Also post a link here to its history and setup??

I built mine up from bits collected, originally most of those parts were on an Orange Prestige but when the Vit T turned up I knew I had to buy it!

I was lucky enough to have a Ti Merlin too at the time, actually preferred the ride of the Merlin which was also set up with Pace, Cooks, XT/XTR mix but, the frame finish on the Vit T was much more interesting to me.
