Arrow Star
 

My dad picked up a univega 'arrow star' frame from a yard sale this past summer...i tried to find the model online but had to luck...also emailed Univega but have not heard back...

has anyone seen this bike before or know anything about it?

Do you have photos? Know what components are on it?

Oh, all right. Don't forget the photos :) !

Is the rainbow on the seat tube part of the Univega Logo? ...or does anyone know the meaning behind it?

I believe its part of the Univega logo....I have a sportour from early 80's with same logo.

The bad news is that this is a lower end frame (per the 'high tension steel'), but the good news is that it should make a great SS/FG. The paint looks to be in great shape too!

We'll hope that T-Mar wanders through and takes a look for you. Oh, is there a serial number anywhere?

East Hill

yea there is, i will get it when i get home from work.

alright...the serial # is M7-A2079


AND I MEASURED THE SEAT TUBE TO BE 25.6 DONT KNOW IF THAT WILL GIVE IT A YEAR?

Based on the serial number, it is a 1987 model, made in Taiwan by Merida who also manufactured many of the mid-1980s Raleigh models. I don't have anything specific on this model but as East Hill states, it is entry level on the basis of the hi-tensile tubing, stamped dropouts and downtube cable stops for stem shifters.
