Would get it if I had the time. 56 cm touring bike sans a rear rim, it looks like.

[h=2]Univega Specialissima Touring Bike 56cm - $200 (Charles Village)[/h]
Available is a Univega Specialissima Touring Bike which is supposed to be the same as a Miyata 1000.

It is complete with all of the really nice original parts. I rebuilt the bottom bracket and headset which should give you many carefree miles.
This will be an awesome touring rig for half of the price of a new touring bike when complete.

This bike is shown without the wheels because the rear wheel is bent. New wheels could be built around the original 40 spoke hubs or you could get a new set of wheels. The rear spacing is 126mm which is available from Velo Orange or you could respace to 130mm for even more options. Or this could be a good candidate for a 650b conversion.

Derailleurs: Suntour Cyclone
Shifters: Suntour barends
cranks: SR (Sakae Ringyo) Apex Triple
Brakes - Grand Compe
Brake Levers - Grand Compe

Check this other Specialissima out to get an idea of what the bicycle might look like complete.

Feel free to email me with an questions. I am potentially open to possible interesting trades (bikes/tools/AlfaRomeo/etc).
