Univega Super Strada almost done
It's bee refurbished except for the front derailleur cable. The dura ace ax components were different than other bikes I've done and for the life of me
I can't figure out how the front derailleur cable runs.

That bike is almost too refined looking. I'd be tempted to mess with people's minds by using some hot color touches, like coral bar wrap, etc.
From the photos it appears to use Univega's early 1990s bi-axial oval tubing. Does the tubing become oval shaped and flip from vertically to horizontally oval along the length?
That road bike frame has been on my bucket list. I have an early 1990s Univega Via Carisma with bi-axial power oval. Great bike. I don't know whether the complex tube forms offer any advantage but it sure looks cool.

the way the cable runs on the non drive side around the back of the
seatpost around to in front of the derailleur then back through the the bolt that secures it.
