My "blue" Vitus used to be the same color as that one and here is what it looks like today (after 25 years and ~150000 miles of riding).

Congrats on two gorgeous machines. Keep us posted as you ride them more.
I've spent the last two years looking for the light blue one...but the 48cm frames are few and far between. So, I picked a real nice purple one and have been assembling the parts for it for the last five months. Test ride and pics to follow soon.
