What else should I list in trying to sell this & where do I find them on the bike to get the names?
Most of the measurements are in cm - when I measure the bike (middle of pedal to top of frame's seat post hole, right?) can I list the inches or should I convert to centimeters?
Finally, I also read that Vitus 979 was made by Peugeot - is that true? I also have a mint condition Peugeot ou mixte I found that hasn't sold yet - I love the look of that futuristic frame!
Final finally! How do I tell what year it is? By it's colors? I didn't see anything on bottom of frame.
Thanks again for any help.
Peugeot did not make the frame, Vitus made the frame....and Vitus made frames for Peugeot and other brands....
They made the 979 for quite a long time. I think they started coming out as early as maybe 1979 and they continued production till well into the mid 80's and a bit later.
