Well probably keep it hanging around for an extra when our nieces and nephews come over.Anybody have any specs on these I found 83 Alpina Sport specs but none for an Uno.
I think its an 83 but not sure, Red tigged frame, Black anodized Araya rims on Sunshine hubs, Diacompe cantis and levers, Suntour Power thumbies and Suntour derailers, Nitto chrome bullmoose bars. Please do. Its the first mtb I ever rode, and Ive never seen a pic of one since. Ooooo, those had the uber cool extra spokes as a chainstay protector. I always thought that was the height of cool, and no-one else did it, at least to my knowledge. I loved the ukai speed line rims. My came with the suntour thumbies as well. Here you go guys, it appears to be all original as far as I can tell. Pretty clean, I bought it for parts but may end up flipping it as I hate to strip nice original bikes. ![]() I liked the look of the bar so much that I pulled it off the Univega and put it on my 29er, which is what I ride mostly these days. Do not know about the MTBs but a lot of the Univega road bikes were built by Miyata. I have a Univega Nuovotech road bike that was built by Miyata. Its has a pretty cool frame.aluminum front triangle bonded and bolted to a cro-mo rear. A few days ago, I finished a clean up and minor refurb on one of these that I inherited from my aunt last year. I thought it was late 80s early 90s, but it looks almost exactly like this one. One odd thing- mine has 24 in wheels, really short TT, and a seatpost WAY (19) too long for a kiddie version. Wierd combo. Do you other folks with Alpina Uno experience have 24 inch wheels Ill try for pics after work. ![]() I had to throw out the seat that came on it (definitely not original anyway) because it was trashed. It had probably the same tires until last week, but pretty dryrotted. I cleaned it up good, put on new cables and housing, new brake pads in front, the new tires, and decided to clip off the tops of those funky grips with a pair of scisors so I could move the shifters closer to the grips- the flanges were a pain in the butt. I had thought the pedals and weird grips were afterthoughts, but the pedals are the same as the one already posted and the grips are fairly similar, so I guess they were what it came with. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it since its too small for me and too big for my wife.
