It might be one of those, but I think it would be beyond my skills / funds to get it back to its former glory!

Don't talk yourself down go for it

Thats very nice , and pretty light at 9.7 kg. I can see that if l am not very careful l will end up with a Vitus bicycle museum

looks bigger than stated

looks bigger than stated

It does, if the length of the head tube is anything to go by (and it usually is). Also I notice they put a '?' after Bob Jackson, so I'd like to know what makes them think it is one. Have they just used the name to (hopefully) get more money for the bike?

 

[midlife]

Not sure if it's a Bob Jackson as the rear dropout mudguard eyes look wrong and it real unusual to get a fork lamp boss on one of their frames

Having said that it's a classy looking looking older frame......nutted brakes and all that .. rear brake made me smile. lol. A Demi Course in the making

Watching this Vitus thanks to the heads-up from biggs682 , it looks as though the UK is the place to be if ever want to sell my Vitus bikes ...healthy bidding going on ! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vitus-97...139739?hash=item1ef0cf5a1b:g:ktoAAOSwO-pcFPTv
