Univega Super Sport?
Did Univega make a super sport model. I saw a bike today that was a Univega, I thought it was a Super Sport, perhaps I miss read it. It was gray and a 12 speed. It had suntour components. I was trying to find out what quality of bike it was and quality of suntour components. I did a search for Univega, but without knowing the model for sure it doesn't help.
What info would be useful in determining what type of bike it is?

They made a "Supra Sport" which is a nice ride. Univega's made in Japan in general are fantastic bikes 
One of our members (boqester I think) has an extensive list of all models. See this: https://bikeforums.net/showthread.php...=lawee+univega

Great rides indeed! My grocery-getter is a Supra Sport I pulled out of the dumpster and it rides like a dream. I think Univega's get even less respect than Miyata's, Panasonic's and Centurion's but they're nice bikes.

Indeed, I've had a Univega supra sport for a bit over 2 months, and it has really impressed me. I am told mine came with dura-ace components, but now has shimano 600. An awsome ride that deserves respect.

An error
So i feel stupid saying this but I after riding my Univega yesterday i noticed it was a super strada not a supra sport (damn tricky alliteration). not the same thing i suppose. I only bring this up because i didn't want to mislead people into thinking that supra sports have shimano 600 or were ever equiped with dura ace, like my super strada is/was. Either way i still like my bike and i hope you enjoy yours as well.
