This gets expensive fast! :P

So i got that 1982 Univega Sportour on eBay for about $100 shipped.. it seemed a great deal, as the bike was in practically new condition.

Of course, lots of little things...

New tires
New tubes
New brake pads
New bar tape
Clips and straps for pedals
Simichrome for dulled aluminum parts


Plus different tools i need for it:

BB lockring spanner
BB pin spanner
14mm Socket for crank bolts
Japanese OEM size spoke wrench


And suddenly this bike is costing twice as much!
