I've just had an exchange with an eBay seller who has what looks like a 1985 Univega Alpina Pro. It matches the 1985 catalog online, and has decals stating 'Made in Japan,' and also 'CTB Chromoly Triple Butted' which is pretty close to Miyata's 'STB' trademark. Sure enough, the SN on that bike's frame starts with NK, so 11th fortnight of 1985, late May or June of that year. Not that we needed more confirmation of Univega frames being built by Miyata!
