To begin a project you usually need some money, well it normally comes when you need it. Some kind sole gave me a lawn mower which was better than mine, so I sold mine for £85. Next we needed to rummage through the loft to find more items for sale, quite a few mountain bike components, a few household bits and the odd motorcycle part. This generated another £74 which made a total of £159.
Lets go shopping!
Being a retro build, I joined a forum called Retrobike, posted an wanted add for a frame and this is what came up, a late 1980's vitus Duralinox 979 riden by all the great riders like Sean Kelly and the brothers Paddon. It is very light aided by a couple of scratches on the top tube. For something nearly 25 years old it is in great condition.
