New-to-me Univega Via Carisma, probably 1992-'93. My first rigid fork bike in years, since my neck and back were busted up in a car wreck several years ago. The original flat bars were painful on this bike. Swapped handlebars between my Globe Carmel and the Univega. Both are much better rides now. I think the Univega even looks better with the slight riser bars.

The Globe Carmel I resumed cycling with last year, after 30 years away from bicycling. It now wears the flat bars from the Univega. Both bikes are much nicer after this swap. Rode the Carmel 63 miles last weekend, the one year anniversary of my return to bicycling, which began the end of August 2015 with a one-mile ride on this bike, before I collapsed. I'm in a bit better shape now.
