Bought this 24" Vitus 172 framed Grand Touring new back in 1976. It's been my main road bike ever since. Doesn't seem like much now, but back then the SunTour GT V Luxe derailleur was the smoothest shifter I ever felt before. I especially liked the quick handling. Much more sporty than most other touring bikes back then. A few years later, my brother bought a Moto GT and it didn't feel like this bike at all. They changed something. Didn't have the sporty feel of the 76. I've always liked this bike. Just fits me.
