Now the last I remember about Univega was when my mate has an old full sus Y-frame, when we were about 12. Since then i don't think I have seen one.

Then whilst looking on bike-discount.de I see these are around £880! Not only do they look bloody nice, the spec for that price is amazing!

For info:

I know a few people on here have bought from bike-discount, but would you buy a whole bike?

The fork doesn't look very good?

Agree, doesn't seem great. I'd say inbetween Tora & Reba?

The XC 28 is a dart, the photo shows a Reba. Looks ok for the money but not fantastic.

the 'xc' forks really aren't bad, at least, there's nothing to complain about that made any impression on me in the few happy km i spent testing them a few weeks ago.

i think they replace the old tora range, which were a little heavy, but they worked.

I bought a Radon 5 29er from them because I wanted the Reba RL fork. Goods communication but the bike box was a little bashed when I picked it up but no damage to the bike. Well put together

Very nice bike, great frame, not harsh but stiff.
