I never really gave the Univegas a thought until I rescued one from my son-in-laws trash day pile. Spent about a year refurbishing it; bought the tools and parts as needed. Since it was FREE, I considered it a learning experience. Turned-out pretty good. Attached photo is before the addition of Arraya 700C wheels. It rides very smooth and I prefer it to my 2002 TREK 1000 which is now up for sale. PG.
