Late at one swap meet or another, I picked up DuraAce AX-equipped UniVega. Got it home and started looking at it, and it was surprisingly nicely done. Clean lugwork, seat stays nicely terminated into seat post binder bolt assembly, non-gaudy decals, etc. Anyone know much about these? I don't normally do Japanese bikes, but this one just seemed different, and I had the parts it missed.

A friend of mine in the md-80's had a couple of these. Pretty nice
mass-produced Japanese bikes on a par with the beter Nishikis or Fujis. The
paint jobs were a bit better than some.
