It is the nicest Univega that I have seen. I really lucked out with this find. I got it on ebay about 4 years ago for $75. The Dura-Ace headset, it came with, was almost worth that.

The frame is built with Shimano dropouts and Tange Prestige oversized tubing, and fillet braizing. My guess is that it came from the late 80s or early 90s. I think this frame is as nice as any steel frame from that era. I have searched the internet high and low and I have never seen another. Does anyone know anything about the Ultraleggera? Who built it? Has anyone seen it in any of the catalogs?

I am 6'1" and have ridden a 59cm frame for over 20 years but I really like this more compact setup. In fact I now almost prefer this setup. It is a great riding machine.
