However, it's also true that most pro cycling teams routinely use bicycles that are foisted on them for sponsorship reasons that have little to do with the performance of the gear (this includes every brand, not just Vitus in the 1980's) and that the motor is 90% of the reason riders win races. Still, compared to the other bikes that were out there then and now, the Vitus was a crappy race bike.

But if this user doesn't care, isn't going to race, or likes crappy bikes, the Vitus might be ideal. What are you guys smoking here? Can I get some? I haven't had any of that since the 1980's either.
