Vitus gone??

    Just faffing about on d'aul interweb there as you do. Clicked on a chain reaction advert for vitus bikes. I'd seen it plenty of times before but for some reason tonight Sean's penetrating stare dared me to click. All I got from chain reaction though was a couple of jerseys, a gilet and a selection of derailleur hangers (somewhat ironically... Maybe Sean was taking the pi$$ :(). But, thinking they might just be sold out of bikes or something I went to find vitus' home page to see who else might be selling them but all they could do is direct me back to their "exclusive stockists" -chainreaction cycles, so there I am looking at gilet's again...

    So are they dropped / shelled / out the back, so to speak? Or did they sell extraordinarily well and there's just no stock left anywhere?!?

    Dunno much about the bikes themselves but dead cool model name

    read a review on bike radar a few days ago so unlikely, might be a stock issue. Here's the review...

    Nope Vitus aren't gone, my old man was speaking with Kelly over the Christmas about purchasing a bike from him.

    Are they good bikes? I can't imagine Sean would put his name to something substandard.

    I saw one of his old KAS Team Vitus 979 bikes from the 80's recently ...! Made my day ... !

    Beside it was a modern day Felt which just looked so cheap, nasty and common beside it....!

    In fairness, who is going to defy Kelly?
