The UO-9 was a slight step up but still had the stem mounted shifters and safety levers on the brakes.
I had seen in catalogs that it was available as a mixte UO-19 I just havent seen one myself yet.
So wouldnt that make it rare? Not worth a lot, but rare? If so Id like to get her back in shape as Id hate to SS a decent rare bike, if not SS it is!
