I have been searching for an older steel mountain bike for over a year now. I mentioned this to our bike group a couple of days ago and one of the members dropped off just what I was looking for, no charge. He gave me a Univega Range Rover ES that came as an 18 speed. It came with Exage Country derailers which were rusty as can be. The bike frame shows only a little surface rust which came off with a little elbow grease. I cold set the rear dropouts to 135mm and put on a set of 8 spd wheels that I had. I replaced the cables and cable housings and both derailers and put on some different shifters and brakes. I had all of this stuff in my parts drawer so I don't have any money in the bike. I have no idea what year this bike is but with the long chainstays and sturdy Tange Chromoly frame it ought to make a fine touring bike.
