Hi I have a sad, old Vitus 929 frame that is falling to pieces. In particular, the down tube has
separated from the bottom bracket. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas? Thanks in

Perhaps I caught the shop on a couple bad days, but when I needed parts for my Vitus, they
didn't help me at all, and left me with the distinct sense that they couldn't care less about
repairing Vitae.I know that HH is widely referenced as the North American repair center for Vitus (whatever that
means), but I'd be interested to know whether the folks who pass along this shop's link have
actually used HH's services wrt Vitus repair. I eventually got my Vitus parts from Giro Poste, in
Canada, and was very pleased with the help I received.Rob
