  In searching for a new sport bike for my 5' 1" wife, we have found the
number of choices severly limited in the $300 range. Univega's Nuovo Sport
is available with an eighteen and a half inch frame and twenty-six inch
wheels. The '85 Nuovo Sport is equipped with Suntour ARX hardware and the
'86 version comes with Shimano L series components. Shogun's '86 line of
bikes include seventeen inch versions with twenty-seven inch wheels but the
top tube on the one we looked at (the 400) seemed disproportionately long.

  Does anyone know of any other bikes worth looking at? She doesn't like
a mixte style frame (and neither do I).



Thanks in advance,
             Brian
