54~55?
I love the Univega touring bikes, they are as well built as anything else out there if not better. You have to step up to a Miyata 1000, Trek 720, or Specialized Expedition to find a similar triple butted frame. As a matter of fact this guy was probably put together by the same hands that were making the Miyata 1000.

Here's a link to the '85 & '86 Univega catalogs. https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...-catalogs.html
It says it came in sizes 47, 50, 53, 56. 59 & 62. I would guess this is a 56, probably center to top.
Beautiful bike!

It's in much better shape than most bikes of its era. Once in a while at one of the nonprofits we'll get a bike from this era in with original componentry, but often with scratches and wear from riding, moves, storage, or being piled in a big semi-trailer with hundreds of other donated bikes.
Hope someone appreciates this one. Univegas were always well-speced for their price point.

That is a beauty, and a good price too. However, it has a major flaw...it's the wrong size!!!!!

Lovely bike for a great price. Full on tourer, hybrid, gravel, half-step and granny. I'd want that in my size.

I'm sure the OP will be along soon as they are a regular poster here, but I'm willing to bet the answer is yes. Unless stated otherwise in the post, packing and shipping is the norm here.

I was wondering why this looked so familiar, I think I must have seen your listing on Facebook or Craigslist.
Edit: scratch that, I was thinking of a different, nearly identical bike in Pittsburgh
Just curious, does this bike use 700c or 27" wheels?
