You can always but it, swap the wheels with the Peugeot, and sell the Peugeot off.
The intention would be to ride but I'd flip it if things didn't work out. Even though my '87 Peugeot is just HLE, it's in really good condition and the Peugeot name itself would get me more than $75.
The tires on the Univega look like crap so they'd be a flipping deterrent. I'm not thrilled about the sponge grips either ;-)
I considered swapping the wheels but I'd need new brakes on the Univega. The pads are as far down as they'll go.
