A Big Box arrived this morning

[T4tomo]

Beautiful, is it all chromed steel or is it titanium. The attention to detail is magnificent

 

[Spiderweb]

That's a beauty!

I hadn't thought of it that way but hey why not ? That certainly gives me scope for more fun since this Vitus cost about 10% of her latest foal, and l can ride mine straight away but the foal will have to be fed and watered for at least another 18 months before anyone can jump aboard !

Not to mention the copious horse eggs the foal is going to be laying over that 18 months that need mucking out. As long as each stable has a clearly marked partition, you don't want those deposits on your side....'you stay that side Tonto or I'll make you into glue to repair the barn roof'

Oh yeah, not another one l hear you say
This is no ordinary delivery, it contains a dream come reality for me.....l say no more just take a look

These frames were made from Dural aluminium , the tubes were threaded and then epoxied and screwed together. In a way you are correct because Vitus call this finish "Titanium" but that obviously refers to the colour. The whole bike weighs 9.5 kg

Hell man that'd be grounds for my instant dismissal ! Actually my steeds are quite safe because the horses are about 6 Klm away

I will take a few more photos if you would like to see some of the details. I am not too handy with the phone camera but will give it my best shot !

 

[raleighnut]

[fted33]

Can anyone pinpoint the year when the rot set in, and those aesthetically pleasing designs started to get ousted by the ugly stuff with their misshapen oversized tubes? It's not quite a straight steel vs carbon thing either, as some very early CF stuff wasn't ugly looking.

 

[Houthakker]

That really is a thing of beauty!

 

[annedonnelly]

They should make all bikes look like that!

 

[Mrs M]

Lovely bike
