Univega Via Carisma. Splattertastic.

Years back when I got interested in older bikes I acquired a nearly mint Via Carisma for approx $25 or $35. I sold it for $100 a short time later. (I thought I was one heck of a smart guy at the time.) This was a time I would say my taste and knowledge in bikes was still developing. To this day, I wish I still had that Via Carisma; it truly have just the right fit and feel; but I wasn't mature or developed enough to recognize what a great fit it was for style of riding I like. After having bought and sold many bikes in the past 10 years, I regret selling only a couple and that Via Carisma is one I regret.
