This is a 1984 Univega Supra Sport Mixte in Sand  with Brown Lettering. It is a 19.5″ / 50cm / Medium (center of bottom bracket to top of seat tube) Lugged Double Butted Cro-Mo Steel frame with a Mangalite steel fork. The stand over height is 24″ directly in front of the saddle. 

There are 12 speeds available through the Sugino two ring (52/42t) crankset and the Suntour 6 (14-32t) gear freewheel. 

The rear derailleur is a Suntour AR GT and the front is a Suntour AR. Shifting is through Downtube Mounted Suntour Friction Shifters.

Both wheels are Araya alloy rims drilled for Schrader valves laced to Sunshine alloy hubs, the front is quick release. Both wheels have brand new 27″x1 1/4″ gum wall tires.

Braking is handled by Dia Compe 500 Side Pulls. The brake levers are alloy Dia  Compe  levers with Safety Extensions. 

The caramel vinyl saddle is mounted to an alloy seat post that moves freely in the seat tube.

Sakae Ringyo chrome handlebars are mounted to an alloy stem. The stem is not frozen in the steering tube.

There are eyelets for front and rear fenders and a bottle cage mounted to the Downtube. 

The bicycle rides, turns, stops and shifts through all of the gears and rings as it should.

This is a very color coordinated bicycle. The subtle gold color of the frame is highlighted by the brown decals, cable housings and handlebar tape and further accentuated by the caramel saddle and the gum wall tires. Claimed weight of 27lbs.

For less than the price of a generic Bike Shaped Object that anyone might buy online or from a store that sells bicycles in the Toy Department, you could be riding this vintage bicycle with quality components. The fact that it is still rolling down the road is a testament to how well it was built.
