Description
Up for sale is this beautiful vintage Favorit road bike. Made in czechoslovakia in 1974 the bike was imported to the states and ended up seeing very little if any use. I suspect it to be NOS as the person I purchased it from was a former shop owner and claimed the bike had sat all its life. Bike is complete and original with paint, chrome, logos, and components show little to no wear or use. Even the tires are in near new condition. All parts are Favorit branded except for the leather saddle which bears a "sport 05" stamp. I understand that Ideale may have made some of Favorit's leather saddles, this example is in perfect condition with no cracks or scratches. The bike comes equipped with a new PW8 rear derailleur shifting a 4 speed freewheel. A plastic favorit front derailleur is mounted on double chainrings. Wheel size is 27X 1 1/4, the bike is currently equipped with 28" whitewall tires. chrome fenders with bakelite reflectors, steel rack, leather panniers (not pictured, strap damaged), and leather saddlebag with tool round out the accessories list. The bike rides very sweet and could do only for a slight tune. The paint is classic favorit, brush quality, but that only lends to the bike's charm.
Vintage 27" Univega Custom Ten Road Bike. Fair cosmetic condition, some scuffs, scratches, and a little surface rust on the frame, surface rust on the handle bars, and some rust on some of the spokes of the rear wheel. Seems to ride nicely, may need a little tune up. Seat is pretty beat up, but I thought it was comfortable. Tires should not need to be replaced immediately. Measurements:
Tires: 27"
Center of crank to top of frame: 24.5"
top rail: 21"
Standover: 34.5"
