Last spring, on Ebay, I saw a Univega Ultraleggera frame up for auction. I haven't really been a huge admirer of Univega but I know that they have made some bikes. I took a closer look at the frame and noticed that it was built from Tange Prestige Tubing (oversized .8/.5/.8) and featured somewhat rare Shimano dropouts. Noting the high quality of the frame I watched the auction. The bidding was over $100 but it never made the sellers reserve. I was almost tempted to bid on it but I didn't. A day after the auction was over I saw the frame with a buy it now of $50. I didn't even have to think I bought it without blinking an eye. The price was worth the included dura ace headset alone. I believe the frame is late 80's or early 90's. I have built it up with all dura ace components, some from the time period and some newer. It is 9 speed equipped with a set of Superbe Pro friction shifters. It is one serious racing machine that I put together for a song. The really cool thing about is its rarity. I have been watching on ebay and searching the internet and have not seen a Ultraleggera again.
