Vitus 979 MK1 owners....help please

[FINNEY1973]

Aero ones are comfy, alas I'm doing a team bike copy and that used '84 SR etc. I think the issue with the Quinn is where I have them positioned - in the centre of the curve as per the style for TT bikes, it's a position my wrists don't like but I can live with it on that bike as it sees a nominal amount of use. Just hope having them higher on the curve will reap rewards and be more comfortable on this Vitus. we shall see on that one.

You'd have thought there must have been some solution for small handed riders theycouldn't have been that few and far between! There's some really cool off-catalog equipment such as SR retrofriction shifters - hens teeth though

Re:

I have a 979 with a 25.0 mm vitus aero that is a tighter fit than I was comfortable with.
In the light of this thread I'll be checking the seatpost diameter carefully.
Fortunately I have a Campagnolo Aero 25.0 that I can compare the fit of.

Yes it does seem to show that there are discrepancies - there is certainly a variation in diameters on posts that I have, but also on both frames. I think i'll invest in some better vernier calipers.
