Apresento a minha última aquisição que fazia parte da minha "wishlist":
Vitus 979 Duralinox
"The first Vitus-branded Vitus 979 Duralinox frames of 5083 aluminum-magnesium alloy tubing and lugs were developed in 1978 and introduced in the Spring of 1979 3 with Ateliers de la Rive designing and producing the 979 Duralinox tube sets, forks, head tubes and rear triangle stays, and Angenieux-CLB producing the cast alloy internal slip-fit lugs, bottom bracket, fork crown, drop-outs and rear brake bridges."
"This is the frame the Sean Kelly rode for years. I don't know exactly what years he rode this particular model. This is the frame he was riding when he won the 1988 Vuelta a España and the green jersey in the 1989 Tour de France. He later rode the improved 992, as seen in this picture from 1992. Kelly's wins are a hole in the argument that stiffer frames are always better. However, it is worth noting that Kelly rode a fairly small frame, which would have been stiffer than the next size larger frame.
"The Vitus 979 is a classic racing frame. It is fairly light; I believe it was the lightest production frame available for several years starting in 1986.
The 979 is a bonded aluminum frame. The main triangle is anodized aluminum. The tubes were made by Vitus. The frames were made and assembled by the French aerospace company TVT. The lugs are bonded to the frame with dry heat activated epoxy. The inside diameter of the tubes appear to be larger than the outside diameter of the lugs. So in addition to being bonded, friction holds the joints together."
