anyone know anything more about these style frames, bars coming from top of forks?
is the style called anything in particular? any frame builder specialise in them? would like to look into picking one up but not sure where to start

it is hard to get any info in English, you would need a russian speaking person to track down that frame as it is from soviet era. apart from former soviet union countries there may be some left in the east berlin [as close as you can get physically near the frame living in UK], but unlikely...

I think Rossin may have made bikes for the Russians at some point, but this shot does show a Rossin with a similar set-up:

I "borrowed" this image from somewhere on the web: heck if I know where...

saw one on sales for a price of a hen with teeth, love to have that gorgeous frame!

^^ *look *but don't touch...nice.

1. is the cat some sort of inspection line manager for spokes?
   
2. Does it have a ruler for a tail? It seems mighty straight to me...and long.
   
   

BTW - don't touch the bike for god's sake.

If you like the Electra, you'll probably splooge over the Boat Tail Riviera - one of my big brother's mates had one when I was a boy, maddest thing I've ever seen on UK roads

Lush!! a bike that actually has been lovingly used.

that look is my favourite of all the modern plastic bikes. the bottom bracket area is really nicely designed and the whole bike is balanced. im not really sure what the steering is like with that kind of steering mech.

one day she will be mine. oh yes, she will be mine!

dread to think how much they cost though :s

i was wondering bout the steering also. i reckon the frame is a shit load, and to build it up nicely would cost a fuck of a lot

I dont understand why that is in this thread?
well used what?-all that headtube, toptube and downtube rubbing that a bike gets whilst being ridden?

Its a pretty frame but the build sucks

it's a bike that wasn't built for kudos. a rare thing in this 'fixie' world. the bike has obivously been through the mill and i suspect the owner and a good few of us on here love it for that reason. it's like a cat with one ear, or a dog with one leg.

yer I get that but its not 'bike porn' its like posting loads of messenger's bikes or polo bikes on here that are used everyday for 9 hours and more, because they are used, not because they look good
