Univega Viva Touring

[HARPO]

This 1985 model shows an 18 speed, so I'm assuming mine is a bit earlier...

I am obsessed with the Brooks padded 3m bar tape take looks like leather from distance but isn't and is super comfy on long hauls.

Very nice tourer very similar to my 1983 Miyata 610

Great job on the clean up, Harpo! Looks like the shop it came from is still in business.

this is correct - Univega were built by Miyata.
I like those compact bars

pretty amazing find, but gotta wonder if it was in a garbage can because someone stole and ditched it

The woman was still bringing boxes out to the curb when I happened upon it. As she was walking back up her driveway was when I took it, so she was probably perplexed if she came back and saw it was gone, lol.
