lewt539, There was a Univega Supra Sport that I'm aware of that sold for $60 in the Raleigh area. The bike had been stored outdoors and that took its toll on the components and the chain. Amazingly the frame was not rusted. It was a grey/blue color and could be the same year/model you're referring to. I remember looking at it. If I had more time and if the frame was one size smaller, I would have purchased it for myself because it was super nice frame. It was double (or triple) butted chromoly steel, made in Japan. I can't remember if the steel was Ishiwata, Tange or something else. The model, SupraSport was NOT high end, in fact it looked like a very nice entry level model to me. But I remember being very impressed with the frame's credentials for a lower end bike. Take into account, prices have gone up since I viewed this bike and it was a good deal then.
Hope this helps.
