Univega Gran Premio

Having two Bertoni bikes that I love and learning some of the history behind the development of Italvega, Univega & Bertoni, this was a logical addition in the "UJB" category.  In truth, I thought this was going to simply be a frame donor to install a pretty nice modern 9 Speed Shimano 105 group I have, but it turned out the frame is quite nice - actually chrome plated below the paint! - and it's in remarkably good shape.   It has all of its original Suntour Sprint 9000 group (even the pedals) and the rims haven't even seen enough miles to have the annodizing worn off.   It needed a new front tube and a minor seat adjustment & bar adjustment for it to fit "just right" on the test ride...that ended up a little longer than I'd planned...which is a good thing, by the way.
