Looks great, I'd be careful with that seat post (aside from not really suiting it) as it will put a fair amount of stress on the frame. I'd go with a straight post ;)
-
Love these frames :smitten:
Looks like you have got the hang of the polishing lark on the cranks 8) Just don't get carried away and polish everything in site now Graham :D , it's nice to keep some stuff to a satin finish aswell ;)
Nice one mate :daumenhoch:
-
Lovely frames these and I'd echo Marty on the post.
Not keen on the single coloured tyres but top work mate :daumenhoch:
-
Liking the look of that :daumenhoch: and I also like the blue font Dominator.
but, I would also say the same on the tyres and post :D
-
Cheers guys all comments took onboard :D will post updates of adjustments in a bit :daumenhoch:
-
Curious mix of parts, but nonetheless, tres bien.
I like a vitus. :daumenhoch:
-
Great to see something different, always ogled these as a lad bitd, banging :daumenhoch:
-
Cool build looks good with all the blue on it,but as others have said,straight seatpost and some Gumwalls or skinwalls in black would improve it no end .
Your build though,if you like it,go with it!! :4_17_5:
-
Here we go seat & post changed and tyres or like olly says what about black gum/skinwalls ?

I was going through some old mags yesterday and came across a feature about a sub 15lb build, it was a red Vitus with Hutch decals and forks :shocked: must say it looked the dogs

-
Yeah, now that's what I'm talking about; looks way better!
-

Will do but I'm not gonna be able to get to the mag till Monday as I've got a few days off with the kids ;)
-
Cool no worries steve,thanks :daumenhoch:
-
GT Pro or CW bars would look good.
-
:4_17_5: great build,
the changes are spot on :daumenhoch:, unsure on the tires would try black tan walls, bars imo, look a little out of proportion to the bike, a little big, perhaps some ally bars with bolt on cross bar? would be in keeping with the f+f's unique design ? would mean leaving white seat and chain ring though,although the brake cables would tie them in ? :LolLolLolLol: never ending i suppose
-
I had renthals on mine bitd. Not a conscious choice, just what i carried over off the previous frameset. They weren't pro size though, i would have been about 12 or 13 so probably a size down, whatever they were called.
-
Renthals would look good sand with being alloy as well
-
I think i will look for a set of good bars now,thought i would just put them bars on coz they were white lol am a walley at times :crazy2: :D

Thats a very nice set up there steve :daumenhoch:

2 Derby riders at the Greyhound Stadium used to ride them Shaun Spencer and Andy Pass. Both pretty powerful riders but I was never sure about those frames as a race bike seeing as they were glued together. Other than that they are a good looking frame and forks.
