This fall I finally finished building and tuning my 59cm 1984 Univega Specialissima. It started as a neglected, scuffed ebay frame that miraculously had no dents or cracks, despite looking like it had been stripped and dragged down the highway under a bus!
After a powdercoat, three separate builds (each getting closer and closer to what I wanted) and hours of tinkering, it's pretty much the way I like it. It's had many 10-15 mile rides, and one 23 mile ride carrying my daughter and about 10 additional pounds of gear.
I plan on doing a local camping trip on the bike this year, probably either Topanga Canyon, Leo Carillo, or one of the LA/Ventura county line adjacent sites. I'm on the fence between using the trailer vs. loading up racks on the bike.
