FREE!19" Univega Alpina Pro - GONE :(

[Tad]

'tis with heavy heart that I have to let the frame go. Please see this thread for pics http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53557

CTK gave me the frame and I built it up and gave it 5 laps of thrashing at Mayhem this year. I can honestly say that the ride is just brilliant! Unfortunately I'm just too small for it.

Tubing is Tange performance double butted chro-mo. Condition isn't bad, no dents or rust though there are chips in the paint. Frame meassures 19"c-to-c seat tube and 23" c-to-c top tube with a 5" head tube. I am selling the 26.4mm seat post, fork and other bits from it in my for sale thread.

The frame is going for free (free on collection from West Sussex or posted at cost). There are conditions attached, I want it to go to someone who will build it up, ride it and love it, it would be great to see it putting in a lap or two at Mayhem next year. I don't want it to become a pub bike or commuter hack.

This isn't going to go first come first served, please post your intentions to this frame and I will contrive some way of ensuring that the most honourable gets it.

Pip pip!

Now that is sooooooo luverly I so want it but alas I am jobless and have no money to Biuld this beauty up as well as you did. I would biuld her up as a wicked ss speed machine in a mongral kind of stylee and team macretro are coming to mayhem so it would do a few laps- ach go on, put my hat into the ring tis a sexy thang.

Oh yrah I would need that front fork to, so happy to buy that from you mate.

Ooh, that's a good start.

Being a Univega lover (ooer) and this being just the right size, i would be very interested in this frame!

I obviously couldnt collect so it would have to be a posted jobbie!

Would you please supply a price for postage, thats is if you think i may be a worthy candidate

Would the frame come with anything else???



Tony....

Nice one Tad if gazz gets it I've got stuff to help you build it up buddy. Its a great looking bike and I wish I had the space or the legs

I vote that the frame goes to Gazz, this is completely unbiased of course as i have never met him in my life but he seems like a jolly nice chap

Is there any chance for this frame to be shipped across the canal to the Netherlands?

I was looking for a early Univega frame and bought a cheap 1996 frame some time ago. But this one is the one I was looking for and the right size for me
I'm a bit of an original! So if you decide I could have it, I will try to build it with all the orginal components. I got some parts in the garage allready, so it should not take such a long time.....

Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Cheers,
Bart

And just like that it's gone. To a very deserving home

I'm looking forward to seeing the build and seeing it at Mayhem next year!

 

[clockworkgazz]

wooohooo

that is so cool, cheers mate.

Promise to have this one getting dirty in super-quick time, hope to get it even half as nice as when you built it up.

And if I ever decide to get rid (why would that happen?????) then it will pass on in a karma kind of fashion.

Thank Thee Thank Thee Thank Thee

If it fits, I don't think you ever will

Looking forward to seeing it muddy!
