For sale:
A pair of Vittoria Pro Team Open Corsa 700c x 23 tyres.
They have the amber band around the outside (for the vintage look) and blue stripes around the edges.
These are great looking tyres in perfect (new) condition.
they sell for £50 a pop new and there are going for £60 for both as I have more tyres than I need at the moment.
I have put the tyres onto a fixed gear I'm building so you can see how they will look:

These are amazing bikes, I bought one a couple of weeks ago and it's incredibly quick and light:

Yours is definitely an earlier model as the rear brake cable runs along the top tube rather than through the middle of it.The model after mine had a few other minor alterations such as using a grub screw for the seat post, but I don't think there were any major changes.

Currently building up an aluminium vitus 979 with various bits
I built up a Reynolds 531 two years ago with bits salvaged from my old BSA with basic and cheap(ish) bits like driveline crankset, charge saddle, and aero XR1 wheelset. I run a flip flop hub on the back but have yet to ride it on the freewheel. Ratio is 48/19 which seems to work well in London, but gonna take a few teeth off the rear cog. It is a great everyday bike, super quick and a smooth ride.
Currently working on a Steel Vitus frame. I'm looking for a campag crankset (165) or equivalent, a 26.4 seat post and a French thread bottom bracket (closed) and headset (also french thread). Also on the lookout for a set of Mavic wheels with a fixed or flip flop rear hub. Im considering some GIPIEMME XR536 36H wheels I found, but looking for alternatives. Any opinion on these?
If you know anyone who has got any of these parts then please get in touch and/or share your views on the above. I've ben riding high mileage fixed for a fair few years but still learning new stuff everyday.
Great stem, fits perfectly and looks great on the vitus 971, cheers
