UO-8, bought as a bare frame when I worked at a dealership, outfitted w/ Sugino aero aluminum crankset (165mm to eliminate toe-to-wheel overlap), Araya aluminum rims, MKS quill pedals, SunTour barcons and Cyclone rear derailleur, ultra-6 speed SunTour freewheel, Shimano Titlist front derailleur, modern Blackburn pump which fits the downtube pegs and actually works, reduced-rake chrome forks. Best of east-meets-west in a budget build, with a great powertrain on one of the better low-end plain carbon steel frames.
