I Just Bought a Mutt

I think it's a good mutt though. From the 'bay but for not too bad of a price. A Univega Gran Premio. Tange Champion tubing. Seems to have a mishmosh of components (waiting for it to be delivered). Diacompe(?) aero levers, Suntour clyclone front derraileur, Shimano 660 SIS rear and downtubes, Sakae(?) crankset. Since Univega info seems to be scarce, any info (possible year, what components actually came with it)would be appreciated. I don't plan on making it 100% retro, but the SIS components have to go. Thanks.

1983, huh? I guess the aero levers are non-original as well. Maybe Dia-Compe Gran Compe as original?

Maybe or maybe not my 1981 Royal Enfield Aero Grand Prix had Dia-Compe aero brake levers stock.

Do you have an '83 Univega catalog by chance or did you just know by the tubing sticker/components?
