    Hi,
    has anyone got a Vitus bike and if so how does it compare to say the focus cayo?
    No comparison really. The Cayo is carbon. These are not.

    dont look st the price reductions those vitus's are priced about right for the kit thats on them

    vittus are a well know french company (sean kelly used to ride vitus bikes i think) since then i think they have gone bust and been reformed.

    Thanks for that ED,
    just wondering if the price difference between the Cayo (which is carbon) and the Vitus (which is not) - is worth it - about €550 or almost double...
    If the componetry is similar - the cayo has shimano 105 all over - i would guess the vitus would be good enough for a relative beginner (i dont recognise the componetry on the vitus)

    Thanks lads

    Hey looking at a virus bike but was wondering if they are only available through crc or is there any shop in Ireland that stock them. I want to use the bike to work scheme. Thanks

    Only CRC. Vitus is their 'own brand' now.

    Is Vitus not CRC's own brand?

    Thanks. A pity seems like the bike I want. I was looking at the vitus mach 3(flat bar road bike). Do you guys know of anything similar for the same price range (between 600 and 800) other than Boardman.

    CRC tend to be dishonest with some of their RRP's

    Can you use the bike to work scheme in stores outside the state?
