Univega 503 - L - 26"

Built this up during the pandemic and testing the waters for potential buyers as it looks like I might be leaving the UK fairly soon. Used as a LDN commuter with slicks but has also been taken for some offroad fun in the North Wessex Downs and Pentland Hills. Climbs very nicely! Setup 1x9, half finished project, I would probably fit a narrow-wide and maybe a disc on the front for winter fun!

In the words of stridsland:

These Univegas are super rad, always with massive tire clearance,
those funky chain stays, pretty cool colour combos, usually a
threadless forks, and that extra bottle cage mount under the down tube
(for the gram points) if lots of water capacity is your thing. In
general, old mtb frames are an exceptional starting point for a cheap
functional / daily / touring / adventure bike.
