I have been riding a Vitus 979 frame since
purchase in 1987. The frame is alittle "whippy"
if you push it. But over all, it is a great riding
frame. I have between 7,000 to 10,000 miles
on this frame. It is still fine, one of the best
riding frames I have ever been on. I own a
Litespeed, but still love to ride my "Old" Vitus.
