Bond failures on Vitus frames were generally from poor bonding and glue sheer between two aluminum pieces.
Depends upon the manufacture....old Peugeots (1980-83) using bonded carbon and aluminum could be repaired...costly though. Only saw two in the SF Bay in my 40 years here, 1 got repaired under warranty. Owner never liked the bike. They're rare are teeth on a hen.
As I stated earlier - wish the OP would post some pics. I want to see the make, model and closeups of the bottom bracket assembly, rear dropout assemblies - and the wheel in question.
