sloped top tube mountain bikes. womans models?
Just picked up a 1988 univega alpina ultima
Small frame with a sloping top tube.
Ive seen on this forum pictures of similar age mountain bikes with sloping top tubes and never thought about it till today when the seller of the univega told me it was his wife's bike.
I looked up a the model and found the a same year bike with a regular top tube.
Were these frames designed as womans models or is this a design for small frames?
