I have the following bike that I can't seem to find answers to, which is who is the maker of my
bike. Maybe somebody out there in Interland can help.
I have this Vitus bike that on the headtube the decal says "Designed by F USA", with the USA in
a shield geometric shape. And along the bottom of the decal is "Ets Fraysse". My Internet
searches turned up
F/USA to be Formula USA motorcycle racing. I found lots of listings for a Mike Fraysse, and nothing
for an Ets Frayyse. So I suppose Ets Fraysse is the frame designer?
Along the fork blades and seat stay tubes are the cut out black letters, Cascade Wheel Works. I
found in Bend, Oregon a listing of that company and that's it. I sent them a letter and wait for it
to return.
There are several Vitus Dural rectangular stickers, and a stamping on the frame with the word Vitus,
whom I know is a tubing manufacturer. It has the aluminum lugs and the pressfit frame with epoxy.
Also, the rear brake tube cable routing ducks into the top tube.
There's probably a story about the bike, the maker, I just don't know what it is. Do you?
Thanks,
Wynn
