Just bought an 85 univega maxima sport 10 speed. oh so nice. This lady had it in her garage this whole time. Mint condition. sorry wrong forum. I used to ride an aluminum 91 trek road bike. I would hit a bump on that thing and ouch! I would take all the impact. I decided to ride the univega which has a frame of a combination of high tinsile and chromoly. And boy the difference is amazing. The steel absorbed so much of the ride. I do a 17 mile commute one way so comfort is priority. It did take more out of my legs because its weight, but i didn't have to concentrate on the road and look for little lifts and tiny trenches on the pavement.
