Eric G’s Univega Custom Ten

Posted

Judging from this picture, Eric G. rescued this early 70s Univega not a moment too soon!  Hopefully now, it will be afforded a second chance at a seattube fulfilling life.

This is what i have. A Univega Custom Ten ten speed. the year is around 1972 and was found laying around the backyard at my mother in law’s. It is a amazing bike and is Definitely a bike in which will bring lots of joy once it is finished and another model in which is a first for “Old Ten Speed.”

    Nice save, Eric! An excellent project with only replaceable items missing! A great OTS with a Pletscher rack and all the reflectors; good score!
    I shudder to think how much rancid rainwater and goo may drain out of the bottom bracket, and I especially hope that seatpost and/or stem isn’t seized badly! If so, just exhibit some patience with repeated shots of penetrating oil and some careful, but deliberate, twisting every day for a week, and it could break free for you. Be careful if you decide to apply heat, though, or the whole seat lug may disconnect! Good luck!
