DocSprocket’s Vitus 979

Posted

DocSprocket has another nice restoration, and this time it’s much more in line with Orthodox Cotters. This is his Vitus 979 and is also yet another OTSG First.

almost all original is my vitus 979 with 105 group top 2 bottom. preened polished & ready 2 ride with a few new parts 2 make her road worthy. the bars & stem had an unbelievable amount of corrosion they had to be replaced. with side pull brakes & dt shifters & a 5 speed cassette she is a real 10 speed with minimal markings she is a real beauty. i was given this the same time as the univega grand turismo that i fully restored
i love this one the best it was flawless when done. this was all original & a custom  build up for the previous owner

    Doc,
    Stunning!
    Love the way that the 105 components match right up with the black/chromed combo of frame.
    Odd and one of a kind looking…and right up my alley.

        Naked frame with a real headbadge! (drool,drool..)
        All of your bikes have your signature “attention to detail” look about ’em, nice work.
        You wouldn’t have another pic of the bike looking at it from the front-head on?

    Doc,
    It’s very inspiring and makes me feel half-way normal to see that someone else does some unconventional restorations and off-the-wall builds that defy popular appetites. The Specialized Hardrock converted to road with the hand painted graphics–rocks!
    Here’s one that I converted in similar fashion, an old Performance MTB: Suntour everything/Specialized Nimbus commuters/matte black fenders, etc….and a few Performance/Forte parts as well.
