SK.....

What a great rider! Not only did he win multiple green jerseys in the Tour de France - but he could hang with the climbers on the climbs in the Tour too. Of course, he would always have that one bad day in the moutains - which would not allow him to win the Big Race. I own one of these Vitus bicycles - super comfortable, but very flexible too. And they're definitely not for screaming down descents at 50+ mph - talk about fragile - I have one where the seatstays disconnected from the seat tube. Luckily, it wasn't on a descent. Nowadays, I use the Vitus on the indoor trainer now and again. And every time I ride it, it always reminds me of the great Sean Kelly - a complete rider through and through.....and an unforgettable champion.
