longer stem and I would, so much.
-
original, as required proprietary soviet threading, same as headset
They aren't orginal, owner stated that he got frame without fork.
-
That frameset is Comanche Elite. I don't really know where it's made, don't want to bother tonight, but it is budget track frame in Russia/Ukraine etc. Aero seattube is just like Fuji/Dolan etc.
-
as far as I can tell, he had this before Cnopt and other USSR frames because bike check is from 2011 summer.
-
Not the original forks are they?
Yes.
-
I pretty much agree with Gabris.
Well, Shl, you say that there was bicycle factory in Poland but I think that they made bicycles for mostly people in Polands territory. But Harkov was a factory that made bicycles for biggest part of USSR and in Soviet Union things were made mostly in one place for everyone, then everything was simply that way and USSR didn't care about costs. They may just forgot to stamp these cranks because there were many frames that came unstraight, bented etc. from factory and you couldn't complain. -

what budget?
You need to figure out what way you go yourself.
If you don't want to have problems with threads then maybe
it would be easier to check classifieds and find something in
your price range. -
It's just a create, other then the fact that price is higher then usual
and it has a blue chain it doesn't differ from other create's -
photo from xvz catalog, I believe these cranks are the same.
These were on older models too -

If I remember correctly then BB threads differ a little, with plastic cups or grease and slow work you can get anything in.
Lovely build for that rekord, if I remember correctly you had i few years ago(judging by the sticker on fork as I remember it on Velospace) -
Paris-Roubaix, so probably he wanted more comfort seeing those suspension forks and slack geometry with too long tubes would offer more amortization and flex, but if so, why would he ride that tour at all? He should've just used a downhill bicycle (..)

This is wrong, this lacks balance. -
I felt that it's time to make a thread dedicated to russian track bikes because you can find some that are not really rats and because many people are really interested in these, so go:

As a Beater king you should know that you can always use alu cans to adjust diameter.
