Changed back to original wheels for the classic look and hopefully better function of the gears.

From eBay but thought worth posting for Univega interest. Not mine.

The light blue 503 is one of my favourites

Just starting this Uno. Is a complete bike that sat in a shed for many years so it was covered in dust and spider webs, yuck. I think it's a 1993 based on the original parts that are/were on the bike so likely will upgrade to Deore where I can. Currently has Alivio and Altus components which are in good condition but still crusty, have not started cleaning yet. I did clean the frame and polished it, turns out the paint is nearly flawless. As you can see in the second pic, no rust in the BB so this one probably never went out in the rain/got washed.

Made some mods during the summer and used it as my daily ride.

Just completed my 95 Alpina 508. The stem was the only non-black one I had so i will change that but otherwise I am very happy with it. The blue is a lovely deep colour and the ovalised tubes look really sleek. I haven't been for a very long ride yet so we will see how she rides soon.

Update: changed this post into "Show us your.." Seems like there was no Univega thread.

I've been looking for a Univega Alpina Pro with the splatter paint for quite a while and finally found one in my size that seller was willing to ship from Germany to Denmark. Only the frame and crankset made it to this resto-mod build but I kept all the original parts.


Univegas are totally underestimated in my opinion. They are cheap, beautiful and good quality and there are still a lot for sale. This is the new beauty of my collection. Hope you like it.

That's a great looking build. I recently acquired a 1993 Univega Alpina Pro and need to replace the seatpost. It seems to measure 26.2 or so. What's the seatpost diameter of your model ?
