The picture I had disappeared but it looked in nice shape. Color is brown and the bike has all dura ace components.
I'm waiting on the owner to measure it to see if it fits me. H'es asking $225 for it

If it is in good shape, that is a very fair price. Especially right now.

Ended up paying $190 and after servicing and cleaning up I'm pretty happy

A bit of evaporust and the rust on the parts will come right out. That is a good looking bike and for $190, you did very well.

I know I cut the housing too short but I'm wondering how to route the rear cable.I have 2 bikes routed the way you say and one the way I routed it
but they cut the cable the right length. The picture of the bike in the catalog it is routed the way I did it and it is tight there also. Thats what I went by https://univegacatalogs.files.wordpr...ga-catalog.pdf

I member on here had a set of AME hoods he was willing to part
with that fit perfectly. I'd like to find another set for my Team Fuji.
