Vitus Rear Drop outs, Serial number is on the bottom of the BB, I don't have it on hand though.

Just interested in what model it is and maybe what year? Also it was built with Columbus Tubing.

Thanks!
translated - prize of cannes (a posh town in france)

I had a 'le velo de mercier' like this once, and I think it was made in around 1990 but made to look retro. My laptop battrie is about to run out, il be back
