Univega Alpina Ultima 1983?

Univega Alpina Ultima 1983? Bikes: 1999 Schwinn Circuit, Mystery Bianchi 1985? Univega Alpina Ultima 1983? So I was at the local Goodwill and saw this Univega out of the corner of my eye. I thought it may have been garbage but upon closer inspection it looked like it had decent components. 29. I was going to part it out but not too sure. Information seems a bit spare on what this thing is worth as a whole. I gave it a bath but haven't really cleaned anything,. All original except tires, seat, and grips. I prefer road bikes. Any ideas what it is worth? Jewel. If you were going to keep a vintage mb, this would be a nice showpiece. Show us your vintage mountain bikes! Last edited by curbtender; 06-14-19 at 10:28 PM. That is the best bike I have ever seen from Goodwill, in person or online. And Im amazed you got it at that price. It seems a shame to part it out, only to have the person who buys the frame have to laboriously try to reassemble all the parts to rebuild it. That is beyond cool.

Don't tear it apart, just sell it as-is if you don't want it. A race bike in any era is a highly personal choice that at its "best" balances the requirements of fit, weight, handling, durability and cost tempered by the willingness to toss it and oneself down the pavement at considerable speed. I love mine. Put a set of Fat Franks on mine just for the heck of it. Bikes: 1999 Schwinn Circuit, Mystery Bianchi 1985? I'm not desperate to sell off the parts. I usually put a low value on 1980s MTBs, but the Ultima is pretty special. Nitto anodized bull moose handlebars, full Champion cromoly frame, Sunshine cartridge bearing wheels, Suntour Superbe Tech RD, adjustable set back seat post, etc. Its really one of the best of the consumer brand MTBs from Japan for that era. Yours has some condition issues, don't know if the paint is faded that badly or did it come in different colors. There is a Univega catalog for 1983 out there on the web.

That white mark along the seat stay came right off with some polish. Classic and Vintage Bicycles: Whats it Worth?

Auto Bild magazine recently organized a few acceleration tests at an event hosted in Papenburg, Germany where the Mercedes-AMG S65 Sedan made an appearance. It wasn’t just any S65 as the vehicle in question was the “Rocket 900” from Brabus. As the video is showing, the fullsize luxury sedan managed to live up to its name by demonstrating its amazing acceleration capabilities, reaching 340.4 kph (211.5 mph) in only 3 kilometers (1.86 miles). That might not seem very impressive when you compare it to the latest crop of ultra-lightweight hypercars, but the S65 is a big and heavy sedan. Getting back to the car at hand, the S65-based Rocket 900 from Brabus has been around since the first half of 2015 and is motivated by an enlarged biturbo 6.3-liter V12 engine producing 900 horsepower (662 kilowatts). The powerhouse is capable of producing a monstrous 1,106 pound-feet (1,500 Newton-meters) of torque, but it comes with a limiter that kicks in at 884 lb-ft (1,200 Nm) to make sure it will remain reliable in the long run. In terms of performance, the specs sheet says the sprint to 62 mph (100 kph) takes 3.7 seconds and the run from a standstill to 124 mph (200 kph) is achieved in 9.1 seconds. Beyond 217 mph (350 kph). The video shows the car reached 215 mph (347 kph) and was likely able to go beyond that already impressive velocity without breaking a sweat. This sort of performance comes at a cost though - just look at the fuel gauge.
