VITUS DURALINOX 979 Bicycle Frame 1970g 55.5×54cm 122mm VINTAGE BIKE BFFF D7

This iconic French anodized aluminum chassis represents a classic era of lightweight cycle engineering. The duralinox bonding technique pioneered by Vitus in the late 1970s and 1980s delivers an incredibly responsive ride quality highly prized by retro-cycling enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Lightweight French Engineering

At a weight of only 1970g, this frame is an excellent platform for building a period-correct road machine. It features traditional French threading and a compact, balanced geometry that ensures classic racing performance. Some minor cosmetic scratches and surface marks are present on the tubes due to age and storage, but the frame is structurally sound and ready for assembly. As an authentic vintage item, the high-resolution photos form a central part of this description to verify its exact cosmetic state.

For those looking to pair this iconic chassis with other high-grade vintage components, you might also consider building a period-correct setup using a classic wheelset built with an authentic MAVIC front hub, or check our alternative options like this larger Vitus 979 frame.
