No, but you'll find a good selection of new bikes for $1000 or less. And if you're in a hot bike market you'll surprised how fast flip money adds up to a brand new bike of your choice.

Alternately, you can look for a good frameset (this one?), and build it out the modern drivetrain of your choice. Something to think about, but if you go that route you might look for a higher quality frame than the Univega. Lots o' ways to skin the kitty........

That's how I came to have three modern bikes, I used flip money to buy one and build two. And once you taste 10sp Campy, you'll never look back.
