bodamus:
Has anyone got any pics or info on the Vitus 181 Aluminium BMX Frame and Forks from around 1982 ish?

I have a NOS Frame and Forks that I want to build up just loking for some inspiration on parts to build it with. I'm guessing it was probably on sold as a Frame and Forks set. I know it was something to do with Peugot but other than that I don't know much and cant find any info.

This thing is seriously light and I think looks way ahead of it's time any help and info would be great :daumenhoch:

Thanks bodamus :)

Lee Alexander used to race one when he was sponsored by Stows Bike Shop in Slough; he might have more info.  If I recall correctly (sic) they were a bonded aluminum frame with a 25mm seat post tube and some very relaxed angles on the frame.   Nice bikes but a little flexy and prone to breaking.

What bonded the tubes to the dropouts / headtube / BB sections etc. looks mad  :shocked:
