Just joined with hope that someone can help me identify this sweet ride that has been painted and has zero identification other than a serial number L662199 and a 72 under the top tube. I picked it up last night from a local in Seattle for $150 and after riding it, I fell in love!. Based off the photos and research I've done in this thread, I believe I have an 83 or 84 Univega Specialissima? Based on the photos he provided, I thought it was a Miyata frame at first, but after seeing the diamonds in the lugs and the components, I had no idea. Figured I couldn't go wrong either way, so I bought it! Can anyone confirm the model and if any of the components are original? My plan is to clean it up, touch up the frame where it's scratched and chipped and ride it for a while. Eventually, I'd like to repaint the frame and add the original graphics, so if anyone has a lead on those, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Edit: Apparently I can't post photos until I've reached 10 posts, so I guess 9 posts to go... gotta love old school forums . I'll list the components below for now.

Crank: Sugino AT Triple
Derailleurs: Suntour Cyclone (F), Suntour Accushift Edge (R)
Shifters: Suntour Bar Con Power Shifter
Brakes: Dia-Comp Canti's w/ Gran Compe Levers
Fork: Tange Industries?
Stem/Handlebars: Sakae Randnner Road Champion
Hubs: Suntour Sealed w/ Suntour Skewers
Wheelset: Mavic MA2 27x1-1/4
Saddle: Italia
