Vitus Duralinox 979 was a frame from way back when.

I don't think anyone does them nowadays.
Pity.

............... but only in black .......... and with carbon forks.
Vitus came in colours and was anodised alu all over.
I had a red one.

Re: Anodised frame?
Note that anodizing will slightly reduce the fatigue strength of a frame (because the hard surface can crack, and those cracks can then propagate into the metal beneath).
