I'd not ridden my 979 for a few weeks, but instead a couple of others in my 'rotation'. The latter can't considered to be doorstops either, but getting on the Vitus ... within half a kilometer the ride is so ... it feels so different. 3-4 kilometers further down the road and I'm saying to myself ... damn this is fine!! I've read other owners who raved about how these frames ride.

I've put an old Shimano 5 speed freewheel on the GP4 - Campagnolo Record wheel, and its geared to spin on the flats.

@BradL ... how do you think about the way yours feels to ride? By my understanding, that the actual size of the 979, as well as the weight of the rider may affect the ride on the frames. The angles vary to the frame size. And accordingly, I suspect the tubes behave variously.

I have the Vitus charts for all the tube sizes and angles for the various assemblies.

What size is yours? Mine is 56CT x 53.5 cc with a 134mm head-tube
