Bikes don't handle right with radial tires on either the front or the rear wheel.

But cool bike, what's the top tube length?

I recently found a Univega Specialissima that is a close relative to the 1000 but with AGC450 caliper brakes. It turned out to have fairly slack geometry and only a 55cm toptube in the 57/58cm frame size, so I won't be riding it.
