Is this a good Univega?

Spent a couple of seasons racing crmo Univegas and I have very fond memories of them..

..if a 17 comes up I'll have to grab it! :twisted:

It sounds like he's reading the description off of a frame decal: "4130 OS cromoly" - basic cromoly steel. Nothing special.

I think Univega steel framed bikes in any given year are identical- just with a different spec.

£55 is too much in my view, you can pick up a whole bike for not much more. I think these frames will be the same as the one you linked to but with a load of 'free' stuff attached.

I emailed this guy about it, just because I saw the bottom bracket in it and thought he should be mentioning it. He says that he has loosened the bottom bracket so it should come out. Think that is a warning sign to be honest, if it came out why not say that? Reckon it is stuck or not completely ok. May be wrong though, just a hunch I would have if I was interested.

Seems expensive as well, few similar ones on the bay have been sold for about £100 full bike recently.
