I dropped it into a hole and bent the frame long ago. I don’t need you to help sort out the “technical issues” because I know exactly what they were and why the bike was so scary to ride with a load on a fast downhill. It was too short and had too much load cantilevered behind the rear wheel…hence the discussion about chainstay length and loads. The problem was fixed by going to a longer wheelbase touring bike.

Thanks but I’ve got plenty of bikes (10 of my own currently, 40 over the 45+ years…it’s not my first rodeo). All of them are about 1000 times better than the Univega Sportour.
