Univega Conquest

[bonzo32]

Hi, I've just been given this bike and although I have always wanted a Univega, I don't actually know much about them. Can anyone tell me anything about this specific bike please? It's got a mix of parts, Sugino VP chainset, Dia-Compe brakes and levers, Suntour SS rear mech, Suntour 3000 (I think) shifters, a Suntour front mech and Joytech hubs on Araya 7000 rims. 12 speed, Cr-mo frame & forks.

Thanks

1983 catalog here at RBUK is only about MTBs

I've uploaded also 1990 and other 90ties Univega catalogs in a Thread in a german forum, but at this time Univega was focusing only at MTBs any longer.

Weils so schön ist, hier der 1984er und 1985er Kataloge Die Bilder hatte ich bei Bikeforums gefunden und nun mal alles etwas geometrisch korrekt entzerrt soweit möglich und ein PDF daraus gemacht.

Still, haven't found your bike, it seems to me End 80this, maybe between 1986 and 1989?

Yeah, I think it's 87 or 88. But it's still nice to see the old bikes
