I came across a really nice condition Univega Viva Touring with a triple butted cromo sticker today. Unfortunately don't have pics or the serial number because I saw it at a guy's workshop, and I plan on going back on Tuesday.

Rumor has it that Miyata built the Univega frames. I was wondering if a triple butted cromo Univega frame is substantially different in quality/weight than a triple butted cromo Miyata frame (aside from geometry)? I plan on putting non-stock components on so I'm less concerned about component quality.

I know the Viva Touring was the lowest end of Univega - was this just because of the components? Or is this triple butted cromo univega viva sport frameset somehow worse than say a triple butted Miyata 610 frameset (again, ignoring components)?

I'm leaning towards pulling the trigger here since the paint is in such great condition, and the frameset has excellent tire clearance, which is one of my biggest requirements.

Thanks!
