Vitus Basic SS
Postby slidetaker » Sat Dec 29, 2012 12:19 pm
NOS Vitus Basic alloy road frame. 130mm rear spacing with semi vertical dropout. Naturally went with road wheels and hub spacers (bonus perfect chainline)
RS10 wheels, Sugino generic crank 52T with 16T rear sprocket. Cheap, light and fast.
For those wondering about the semi vertical dropout, it works to get chain tension. There is about 9mm of effective dropout length for the skewer nut to get full bite. It is roughly 30 degree off the true vertical line.

My bike also had the long black sticker at the stays with "Made in France" wording. The bike shop owner told me that it was around early 90s, so this would be before any Vitus production in Taiwan.
Nevertheless, I don't care if it is even made in Taiwan. It is a fast and responsive bike. I enjoy riding it very much although I haven't ridden it as much as I like.

There is an online retailer (in the US) that just sell derailleurs and generally have bike name and models - so would be worthwhile looking into. This is their range of Vitus derailleur hangers: http://derailleurhanger.com/vitus.htm
