I was checking out this guy's Univega today.. a Viva Sporrt i think. it was in decent shape, but i noticed the rear brake was all rusty, the frame was high ten and it had a riveted crank. plus there was mud on one of the fork blades, and i think it probably had the original rubber.

a year ago i would have been like, yep, a bike. now i was like, ew, super low end! im surprised it didnt have turkey levers honestly

i blame all of you

are you a c&v bike snob? any confessions?
