Vitus - St. Etienne France

Vitus was a French bicycle manufacturer best known for its steel cycle frame tubing, and its frames built with aluminium tubes joined to aluminium lugs by bonding - a construction method the company pioneered in the late 1970s . Compared to modern aluminium bicycle frames, early Vitus aluminium frames, such as the 979, offered more comfort because of the small diameter of the tubes. As a result, the frames lacked some degree of lateral stiffness compared to their steel counterparts. now based in Ireland-  http://www.vitusbikes.com/-

Benotto crono - Italy

"This Benotto was on the display stand at the 1986 Long Beach trade show and was specifically ordered and built for Campagnolo USA with the 'new and improved' 2nd attempt by Campagnolo to preview the Record delta in the US.
This bike was taken off the stand, wrapped in a blanket and has not seen light of day since. Not even the covers over the valve stems have been touched to allow the tubulars to be inflated.
Was never a Benotto guy, but this one sings arias to me!"
