DocSprocket’s Univega Super Ten

Posted

This is posting a little late, but here is another entry from the only doctor in this house, DocSprocket and his Univega Super Ten. No powder coat and no index shifting and yet it’s still one my favorites from Doc.

Here we go cameron just the way they likeum
All original the tires, reflectors, safty brakes, saddle, cables, pie plate & pads
Dia-compe center pull brakes
Dia-compe safty brakes
Shimano stem shifters
Matching altus derailleurs
Sistar cranks
Univega saddle
Cotton wrapped steel handle bars

I rescued this from a public moving & storage today
Asking price $50 buckaroos. It had been in storage there for over 22 years.
It just blows me away how long some people will store things,
& then just let them go this was just a small part of a storage container full of things.

I already have a new pair of tires & tubes
Reproduction saddle in brown & Some new brown cotton bar tape
A little soap& water
Some .0000 steel wool
Flitz polish
New cables
And 1 bottle of carnauba wax

    Doc,
    What a pleasant surprise on a beautiful, but HOT Sunday. (100 degrees+ here)
    That lil’ Uni’ looks as close to original as you can get. I just love how they used to match up color themes on the bikes from housings to bar wraps, decals, lug accents, etc. Back in the day they knew how to do it. Oh, and a “real” headbadge…maybe not the most exquisite, but “real” nonetheless. It’s always nice to find a bike in its original condition, and in need of only the basics that wear out with time. Any idea on the year?
