If anyone knows Univegas, I have what is probably a stupid question. I bought a Sport for my niece off my room mate for her birthday, then my other niece wanted one just like it, just my luck I scored a Sportour on CL for $50 that had been professionally redone by a local bike shop and never ridden. My niece doesn't like the brake cables on the Sportour coming out the top. So is it the specific brake levers that feed it out the top vs. the back or can this type also be fed out the back so that the cabled can be taped under the handlebars?

Trek 720 "screaming deal"
There will be some screaming alright when the new owner applies that rear brake! Check the position of the pads in comparison to the tire/rim. Be careful!

So you've been looking for a mixte? A Univega mixte? A mountain style mixte?

I'm never quite sure what the hierarchy of Ross Signature bikes is, but here's a 292S at what appears to be a good price. Sorry for the crappy pic. Blame the seller.

From lower to higher in the hierarchy: 290S, 292S, 294S. My wife has a 292S that I picked up from Goodwill for $15. It is an ok bike. Nothing special by any means.
