Beauty. Like your comment too. Much as the controversy of noodly bikes are bad, the forgiveness of this classic is remarkable. Add the numerous race wins of Sean Kelly on the worst of road racing conditions.
If the time comes and I'm all in for a vintage weight weenie build, a Vitus 979 frameset would be my candidate. Labeled under numerous brands. I'm also surprised the many years of production and finding available NOS frameset.
