Union didn't make a lot of racing bikes, but as a factory they were well on par with the likes of Gazelle and Batavus. This is the 'Hurricane', it has no tubing sticker but judging by the nicely detailed lugwork, Gipiemme dropouts and weight I'd say it's a well constructed mid class racer made of 531 or equivalent tubing.

It comes equipped with a full Shimano Golden Arrow (105 predecessor). Fresh Cane Creek brake lever hoods and Fi:zik bartape. Paintjob is mostly fine, some chips where the pump was and there's chain slap damage on the right chainstay but that can easily be taken care of by putting on a (chrome) chainslap guard. The chrome front fork is so smooth & shiny it hurts your eyes on a sunny day!
