1990's Steel Univega Alpina or Marin Bear Valley/similar

[hoppy58]

Univega alpina rigid or Marin Bear Valley/SE or similar (steel 1990's model) for 5'7", so probably a 16" Univega 15.5" Marin ..anything considered, frame and forks, something needing tlc/rebuild or a nice example. Just putting feelers out to see what's around.

Thanks

I've got an 18.5" F & F. Based in Gloucester. It's yours for £30 but I'd rather not post it.

Thanks. Do you know what the top tube length is? What colour and condition is it in?

Re: Steel Univega Alpina

My mistake. It's a 20" so will be too big for your needs.

Here are the details anyway:

Univega Alpina 500 Racelite Frame and Forks.

Size is 20" or 51cm.

Top tube is 60 cm measured c 2 c.

Head tube is 12 cm.

It has oversize Cromoly steel Double butted frame and chain stays with Bi-axial Power Oval tubing.

Ritchey rear drop-outs.

Designed in California hand crafted in Taiwan.

Has braze-ons for rear rack and mudguards.

Has braze-ons for 3 bottles.

Would make a great touring or winter bike.

Had to have heat to get the stuck seat post out but it's not distorted and a 26.0 seat post slides in very smoothly.

It has the smallest ding in the top tube but it's so small
