Fuel: Lee's Univega Nuovo Touring

My friend Lee is a bike messenger in Cleveland. Over dinner last week he told me about a great bike he had found, this Univega Nuovo Touring cycle, and promised to send pictures. It seems to be from the early 80s. Mint condition. I like understated bikes like this. Well built, simple, not too flashy.

Fuel: A Piece of History

So many lovely features on this bicycle from the doubled up top tube and handlebars to the full base kickstand. I snapped this picture while touring the Cockayne house, a historical preservation project in my hometown.
