Yes. As T-Mar noted, with the high numbers after the L, it was made later in the year, and is likely a 1984 model. That's one of the years that has a catalog available online (here...

The frame was made in 1980 (leading "I"). It may have been a 1980 or a 1981 model.

EDIT: I'm sure you know, but the Super Strada was either the top or one of the top two models made by Univega in...

Yes, but my experience with 25mm tires from the 1980s is that they often measure to an actual 21-22mm!

This would likely have come with 23mm tires. Since you're ultimately going to flip it, I'd leave them on there. Along the same lines, I'm wondering why you need to replace the freewheel? I've done a...

The KMC Z51 is a good inexpensive chain, and comes with a master link. Good for either 6 or 7 speed. It's brown, if that matters. The KMC 8.99 is a step up in price, is silver, and has shaped plates...

Thanks for the correction. I jumped to the conclusion that this was a Miyata-built Univega and followed their numbering. I ignored the fact that I'd never seen a 'Via Carisma' model in the 1980s...

The frame appears to have been made in 1984 (by the leading "M"), which means it's either an '84 or '85 year model, depending on when in the year it was made. You are correct that there is no good...

Thanks for posting the photos. Those are two good looking bikes. I wouldn't be surprised if the two frames are virtually identical, in materials and geometry. You can verify the geometry is the...

There are several Univega catalogues online, but I don't think there are complete ones for '85 and '87. In 1985 the Univega lineup was (from an earilier BF posting):

Can't believe I didn't find this thread a few weeks ago when I was contemplating buying this 1980 Gran Premio (already shown in another thread). I probably wouldn't have waited the couple of days it...
