More Info:
My first ride! I was 8 years old and this was my birthday present. I hung on to for the longest time until I got the rid of it earlier this year. More pictures to come of later work done to it to make it into BMX cruiser bike. The rear seat post was removed and placed on my SWB recumbent bike posted on this site. The front fender taken off and was used on my first FWD recumbent also on this site.

Hello, I have been trying to find history on Unival bicycles. Not much luck. The genealogy of them is tough to track down. Do you remember where the bike was purchased? That might help me to track them down. Any information you know would also be helpful. I had a Unival ten-speed around 1975. Brother lost it. Thanks bro. Thank you for your consideration. :)
