1994 Univega CB S8.3 frame. Carbon/Kevlar tubes (all 8!) with aluminium lugs. 18.5" C-T, 17.5" C-C. 1 1/8" headset.
Very nice condition, some very small marks consistent with light use. One small scrape mark to right of underside of top tube as pictured - no structural implications. 29.8mm 'Pro-Craft' seatpost included. BB & headset cups will be removed.
Admittedly Univega made some crap in the later years, but this frame is one of their highlights before the rot set in (as it did with so many!)
£115 gets it posted safely to your door. As ever, offers are welcome. :wink:

Get this baby built up with a few choice purple anodised parts & it will look awesome. 8)
Some carbon forks wouldn't look out of place either: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26466 - although it was originally spec'ed with Univega's 'Concept' fork (AMP linkage). :wink:
 
Just popped her on the kitchen scales and pretty much bang on 4lbs = 1820g

Also found a rather cool feature on the headtube, which has an external oval profile (internally round, obviously) presumably to strengthen this area. 8)

Forgot to say: All threads for BB, rear mech and cantis are perfect! :wink:
