1993 Univega Alpina Pro

Hey all!

I'm a casual rider who typically only rides a mile or two a day; maybe in an extreme case I ride my daughter to Grandma's house with a pedal trailer in tow.

I picked up a 1993 Univega Alpina Pro off Craigslist for less than $50. It looks to me like it has been well taken care of, especially compared to previous bikes I have owned. (The tires are nearly new and alone would have cost $50)

Would you all mind sharing what maintenance schedule you would recommend? I'm in Southern California so most of my putting around will be dry with an occasional puddle. Also, what's the scoop on the brakes below the bottom bracket? I've never seen that before.

Is there anything you'd be willing to share regarding it's value and the quality of it's components?

Thanks a bunch!
(I will I include pictures as soon as I figure it out)

Chuck
