Mint Restored 1993 Univega Via Carisma Steel Hybrid/Gravel bike 23" (XL) frame

Description: FREE LOCAL PICKUP. Contact me to explore shipping options. This is a perfect vintage gravel bike, best for 5’10”-6’5″ riders. The Via Carisma was Univega’s high end hybrid bike. It’s frame is absolutely beautiful ‘blue marble’ in like new shape. Hybrid bikes are lighter than mountain bikes, stronger than road bikes, and a lot more comfortable than both due to a more relaxed, upright riding position. This bike is a ‘gravel’ bike circa 1993.More info, specs, and restoration photos of this bike on my website: https://bikesheaven.com/1993-univega-via-carisma-60cm-blue-marble/This 1993 Via Carisma has 21-speed Shimano Exage 500 LX drivetrain, designed specifically for hybrids and beefed up 700x38c wheels with gravel/touring tires that are fast enough on paved roads and tough enough off-road.This bike’s bottom bracket bearings and cables were badly rusted and shifters were clogged up so it was impossible to ride when I bought it. It was likely in storage for years, and because of that the gorgeous ‘blue marble’ frame was preserved so well and still looks like new. I replaced the old school bottom bracket with new sealed Shimano BB, and restored the original shifters.FREE LOCAL PICKUP. Contact me to explore shipping options.
