Vintage Rear Bike Rack Miyata 1000 or Univega Specialissima. All aluminum, welded construction. This rack came off of a 1983 Univega Specialissima, size 63 cm. Meaning “most special” in Italian, the Univega Specialissima was the company’s top grand touring model from the early to late 80’s. And for excellent reasons. Especially as a Miyata 1000 in sheep’s clothing.What a decade the 80’s were for touring bicycles. During this time period, comparable Japanese models from the the same era include touring legends such as the Centurion Pro Tour, Fuji Touring Series V, Lotus Odyssey, Miyata 1000 and Specialized Expedition. But the Specialissima holds it’s own.
