Title: Vitus BMX - Advice
Post by: Dan73 on February 06, 2011, 11:38 AM

Thinking ahead to future builds, and spotted the vitus bmx in the museum.

Ive done quite a bit of road racing and Ive owned a couple of nice vitus road bikes in the past. Always loved them. But I didnt know they ever built bmx's and I dont remember them from bitd.

Anyway, it's got me thinking...

Any advice on em, particularly what they sell for (dont want a big money build this year), woud be great, before I put an ad in teh wanted section!

Cheers fellas.

I also have a Vitus, it is hard to put a price on them as they are not from the mainstream manufacturers, pretty much supply and demand.

I have seen a frame and forks go for £250 and also £75, all depends on the demand.

Thanks very much lads.

The pics have persuaded me to have a go, but I'll do it when the price is right.

Thanks again
