1982 Univega Superstrada neo-retro
"The Green New Deal" is a 1982 Univega Superstrada that I built into a zippy modern club racer. It's not a fancy frameset but it's made from Tange 1 and I love the fastback seatstays, long point cutout lugs, and graceful full sloping fork crown. The frame was first media blasted back to bare metal, I torched off the downtube shifter bosses and brazed on some stops for a cleaner look. I cold set and centered the rear triangle to modern 130mm width. I finished it in metallic British racing green automotive urethane and built it up with a 12-speed 105 mechanical groupset, Elite carbon wheels, 28mm Continental GP5k tires (yes, they fit... just), a Brooks cambium saddle, Innicycle threadless conversion headset, Litebike stem, and carbon bar. Rides like a dream and looks quite nice, IMO.
