Exceptional 1985 Univega Gran Turismo
Exceptional 1985 Univega Gran Turismo. 56 cm. The bike is about as close to new that you can get.
Everything is original including the seat and bar tape. Only the freewheel and tires are not original.
The tires are new Panaracer Paselas. You can tell by the suede saddle the bike was ridden very little.
All bearings were cleaned and relubed $400

Wow! I'd be buying that from you if it was my size. 56cm is just a bit too small. I'm assuming that is 56cm C-to-T, right?

Pedal to the medal
Given the immaculate condition and that this is basically a rebadged miyata 610/1000 (and the original rack!) this is a steal!

OMG, that is so nice. I have that niche covered, but it sure is tempting. If it was just the frame set, I would likely cave on that.

If those are 50/45 chainrings, the new owner needs to seek out a 14/17/21/26/32 freewheel to properly utilize the near perfect half-step gearing this bike was intended to have.
