I'll flip it, probably won't make much but I like getting them back on the road

.

It seems like around 1980 model based on components, what do y'all think? It's CroMo. made in Japan..... Miyata? Not sure if rims are original or not... they are basic Araya 27 x 1.25 but would 1980 wheels have a plastic disc and those style wheel reflectors?

Anyway, I'm not sure how it happened but I've got three 1980's Univegas in the stable at the moment.

Maybe head badge will help date it

These have such good bones and were/are a great value.

Hope the effort is worth it flip wise but never not a good thing to keep one of these on the road.
