I had a univega alpina pro, got it back in the late 90's. I put a Manitou II fork on it, had to replace a rear wheel along the way, but otherwise mostly stock. Long story short, that bike was so old and worn out, when i tried getting back into biking this year, every time i hopped on the thing something broke or needed work. It took two days to give it away on craigslist. But thats how i ended up buying my sst al singlespeed which has been making me feel lime a kid every time i ride it.
