I remember lusting after KHSs when I was riding my first mountain bike; a Trek Mountain Track 800. Thanks Mum!

Tubeset is triple butted cromo, which I assume was produced by Miyata, who I believe were building frames for Univega at the time. Any insights into the quality of this tubing?

saw that going on gumtree for 30, very nice find, the money was going to a good cause too.matt1986 wrote:Just found a massive (64cm) Univega Viva Sport, complete with Suntour Cycle (3rd gen) drivetrain, Shimano 6200 brakes, SR 'signature' cranks and bars and a Suntour Perfect freewheel.

Yep, I read up on the cause, sounds like a great project - I fully intend on piecing together some MTB gear for their next collection date. The guy was really friendly too, said that I could come and take my pick of the road bikes they reject too!sunho wrote:saw that going on gumtree for 30, very nice find, the money was going to a good cause too.matt1986 wrote:Just found a massive (64cm) Univega Viva Sport, complete with Suntour Cycle (3rd gen) drivetrain, Shimano 6200 brakes, SR 'signature' cranks and bars and a Suntour Perfect freewheel.

That tube set on the clamont looks like Columbus ms as in multi shape . I once had a kenevans with this tube set ans wish I had never sold it ... my big bike regret !
Nice find

Scott's right, that will be one of Geoffs. The MS tubing is quite rare.singlespeedscott wrote:I don't think it's a Miyata made Clamont. I dare say its made by Geoff Scott.

Up at my parents place and the old man picked this one up a little while ago, but its too small for him. Probably going to move it on, or fix it up as a SS and move it on. Any ideas on this one?

Low end hi-ten frame, steel rims (they appear to be?). No reason why it cant give someone reliable transport. I wouldn't spend money going the SS route, you'd only lose out, unless you've already got the parts doing nothing.
