I think I may have actually lucked out. Found a local who's selling two 58cm Univega Nuovo Sports. Both have quick release wheels and brake calipers, CroMo frame, Shimano components, downtube shifting. Also both 12 speeds. One's brown and the other's a darkish pink. Either way, it's getting repainted. Both are firm at $165. And the best thing is that they're ready to ride. Maybe a minor tuneup, but nonetheless, ready to ride....hehe
