That looks nice: nice to see something different.

Do they have a website? What did it cost you? etc etc

Moskvichworkshop their Facebook
Not sure about website
It was 25 ooo RUB, now it's about 300-320£
And shipping
The only problem it's not the guy's main job, so took a while to finish it
He had 4 frames before mine

Thanks I'll have a look, but I'm not on Facebook so not sure I can access it.

Are you in the UK? How did you do the payment and what currency did you actually pay in?

PS Really like the paint: less is more for me, that's really striking. Is it pearlescent or is there some added sparkle?

Maybe this will help

Yes, I'm in London
I payed through PayPal, but I know the guy personally, so I wasnt a problem
I payed in Rub, but PayPal convert it to gbp

About the paint I'm not really sure

You can't see it on photos, but front is a bit brighter than a back

paint looks like a sparkle to me.

rad frame

Cheers

Bought Selle Italia Willier Saddle from https://www.lfgss.com/profiles/79089/
Will ask for photo

Looks awesome and seems like a great price for a custom frame.
650c front?

700c both
Cheers

Very nice frame. The paint job is nice, looks a bit thicker like powdercoat?

I'm not really sure what paint is that
Will ask the guy now

I'm not sure I translated it right
It's the same paint that used to paint cars
Auto enamel ?

Some updates on my frame
My friend sent it 18th of May
And I crossed UK border on 24th
I still haven't recived it
Looks not right for me
No tracking updates since then

Bike is ready
Still looking for NITTO or Shimano seatpost
Will run BLB for a while

Will post pictures tomorrow

was the shipping just late then, no dodgeyness?

It took 6 days to arrive in UK from Moskow
But than wankers from parcelforse were holding it 9 days without giving me any notifications

• payed 28£ fee
  

That's pretty cool! Did you design the geometry yourself?

I dropped them some measurement and explained what I wanted.
They designed everything
