  • My website has a fair amount of information about the Vitus 979. Check it out here: www.vitus979.com

    It's probably form the mid- to late-80s. What's the serial number?

    Cool bikes!
  • Hey John , thanks for the reply , some interesting info on the website

    The serial no is E090475 if that helps

    On closer inspection the frame does have some minor cosmetic damage but really needs a good clean and polish. I guess it will end up in the classifieds of this website or eBay , hopefully someone out there may be looking to restore to former glories.
  • Can you tell me what the size is? There is a number stamped on the head tube.

    This has what I believe is later seat post attachment.

    Anyway, an interesting find!
