More from Univega, this is a 1980 Univega Gran Rally sent in by Ric C. in Southern California. A sub-24 pound steal road bike for less than $100—and people still go to Wal-Mart to buy bicycles?

    Absolutely gorgeous, classy bike. It has a lot of the details that I love: drilled non-aero brake levers with gum hoods and white cable housing, fluted seatpost, elegant paint. This is a definite front-runner for OTSOTM for me!
