I enjoyed reading that review, and I wish I had that Univega bike, but I would be more trusting of this review if it were published in Bicycling magazine.

My Alpina Team was black with red splatter and I should not have sold it. Full XT, rigid, prestige race bike. Not a tourer—no accomodations for fenders or racks.
