Vitus made a large number of steel tubesets, the best of them probably as good or better than 531 or Columbus. While several French manufacturers sold models with 531 DB main tubes only, the frames probably didn't concede anything to the top models, as the unnamed forks and stay were probably Vitus, which was likely just as good. Never quite understood why the best Vitus steel tubesets did not appear on more top model French bikes.
