[MENTION=190941]jimmuller[/MENTION] - I envy you keeping your UO-8. I purchased mine in about 1968 and sold it in 1972. Rode the bearings off it. At the time, I didn't know I could have repaired it. Young and ignorant at the time. With all the traveing from the age of 13, I didn't really have a base to grow up with that would have taught me more about bikes. I regret selling it. Good on you!
Here is a picture from 1971, IIRC

I had two sets of wheels for it, clincher and sewups. Bought it in Frankfurt, Germany and used it to commute to work. I spent a school year in Austria and rode it nearly every day with a couple of 50 milers in less than 3 hours. It last place with me was in eastern Washington while in college. Did a lot of riding there too in the wheat field countryside. Great memories!
