Hugh`s Univega Viva Sport

Posted

Today I received an entry from Hugh in Highland, Michigan. Interestingly, I have featured one of Hugh’s bikes before, but not because he sent it to me. I featured Hugh’s 1975 Schwinn Traveler as a Monday Market about a month ago. Apparently Hugh caught wind that his ’75 Schwinn was residing in the Gallery and decided to nominate another 10-speed-steed from his stable. Last time, I gave Hugh a bit of a hard time for some interesting brake cable/lever routing/positioning choices, but this time around Hugh is sporting some good looking, non-aero, gum-hooded levers and custom color cable housing. This time the lever position is also much improved, but the seat angle is now very suspect. Hugh did not indicate if this Univega is for sale, but I’m sure no reasonable offer will be refused.

    Hello,
    I’ve an old Univega that was inherited. At that time, over 10 years ago, the owner informed me it cost $400 and now it’s time to go.

    Could you assist/point me in the direction of a method of pricing this puppy?

    Thanks!

    Tim

    This is my Viva Sport that I bought new in 1987.

    It is mostly original. The components were all Suntour when new, but I replaced the brakes with late 90s Shimano 105. I also replaced the seat and the handlebar tape.
