2001 Univega Modovolare Steel Road Bike

3/29/2013

2 Comments

 
Clean Italian lines.  Italian Columbus Thron steel.  Made in the US.  

This is probably one of the most under rated steel frames out there.  It is a modern steel frame with great welds and classic looks.  Nice touches like lugged rear dropouts and integrated seatpost clamp make this a gorgeous frame.  Compared to some of the Surly's and All City's readily available, this is a nicer, US-made frame.  And you are going to have a lighter, more unique bike with the Univega. 

This build is a frame swap from a cracked 2006 Salsa Campeon.  This is not the stock build or even close.  The customer chose to go with a steel fork over carbon, which dictated the threaded headset and quill stem setup.  Otherwise we have a Shimano 105 build kit with Velomax wheels.  This bike tipped the scales at 21lb. 6oz and will ride better than most new aluminum bikes.
