UPDATE: Did I make a mistake?

Went and looked at a Univega Gran Premio over in Dallas, TX. I think it was a late 80's frame, not sure though. The paint was a dark blue with faint wisps of a dark red. It was Tange and the frame was in nice shape. The tires were brand new. Now as far as the rest of the bike goes, all the components were hodge podge. The only two matching components were the rear brake and the headset were Shimano 600. Crank, pedals, front brake, shifters, hubs, rear derailleur, front derailleur and even one of the rear cogs was not even the same as the others.

But all that aside, good gosh that bike felt great! Boy was it fast and light. The guy originally wanted $200 for it. I offered $50 and he said that he was thinking $120. I shook his hand and told him thanks and walked away. I sure hope I can find one in my size again (61-62cm)
