Someone couldn’t live without the Univega S6.3 I last shared after photos that gained massive traction on Reddit and FB. After receiving a “name your price” message, that bike lives in LA now. I thought I’d try my hand at another with a more classic vibe.
Early 90’s 19” Bianchi Nyala Lugged MTB. I really like the 2 degree sloped top tube, indicating a custom set of lugs that was made just for this frameset. Same cold-set treatment with 26×3.0”, 8-Speed XT Group, Sugino Impul Cranks, and lots of other cool bits like the 31.8 quill stem and extra long brake levers to accommodate the extra-wide VO bars. Silver racks because it works with a lugged frame I feel like. I modified the racks to sit super low and for 26” (originally 700c). Also digging the rack mounts being on the inside of the seat stays on this frame.
I repainted the frame and added some branding to the bike this time. Follow @ freshstartcycles on IG to see other projects I’ve completed recently.
I could be persuaded to sell this too – and I’ve got a 20” KHS Team Montana curing right now that’s going to get White Industries cranks and a bunch of other cool stuff coming up this week.
Let me know what you guys think. Merry Christmas 🎄
P.S. Don’t mind the disconnected front brake, I am waiting on an extra-long straddle yoke/cable to clear the rack.

Another really tasteful build! I am really curious how much the „name your price“ Univega build went for though!

did you have to dimple the frame to fit 3″?
