Age of New-to-me Univega Gran Record
So, I picked up this sweet Univega Gran Record -- can anybody help with the date of manufacture on it? Serial number OW35286. Here's my dream: it's old enough to ride in the Eroica, if I ever got it together to do that...
Cheers!
Cheers!

Are you sure about the 10 speeds? Could it be 12? This is an interesting set up, because the mid-late 80s Gran Records came with 105 components, which included the Biopace rings, 6sp freewheels, and side pull brakes. The Campy rims are not original (but a nice surprise). It came with Araya rims with 105 hubs. We need pictures

+1 I highly doubt it is ten speed, unless it has been modified, that bike was never a ten speed. Given the year, it is very likely a six speed.
