    I had a Vitus Carbon 9 w/ full C-Record, for many years & many happy miles that everyone said
    that the frame was going to come unglued. I believed them, (and still do) but it never came apart
    while I owned
    it. Anyway, try these people; hhracinggroup.comhhracinggroup.com They used to repair them. If they no
    longer do, ask them who does. Good Luck John

    Alan of Italy makes similar frames and they are still in business. While I doubt you want to send it
    to them, you might want to contact an Alan distributor for a referral on who can perform repairs to
    their frames. Alan makes bonded aluminum and bonded carbon frames. They were the first ones doing it
    - Vitus imitated their designs.
