1984 Univega Super Strada Olympic Edition
Thoughts on the value of this mostly original Univega Super Strada:
Tange Champion Frame. Dura Ace AX Components
In 1984 was the only change for the Olympic Edition the color from Gray to Red? A thousand thanks!

Unfortunately probably worth more parted out. Not to mention the large frame.
I feel like Univegas get passed over and never really got much clout; at least not here in the states. I personally love them.
I'm of little use with a value though.

It's a real beauty. Red color definitely makes it more desirable. You'll get higher price in a hot location too. So, if you're not close to a major bike market you might want to advertise on ebay for a better return. I'm getting a feeling for around the $500 - $600 price range. Good luck. Have fun.

Well appointed, high quality Japanese steel. The Dura Ace group certainly helps value but it’s the early gen with the weird pedal thing going on. I’m liking $350 on this one as a local sale. Maybe more but I just don’t think a Univega will command it.

Pull the stem and seatpost out and move the rear cable over to the nds. 
You may want to pull the front brake cable out of its anchor first so you can route it inside the rear cable.

Can see how the AGC rear brakes are angled such that drive side routing is needed.
So I would keep rear brake cable as is, drive side.

Yeah, that's pathetic. How do you turn the bars?
