For Sale: Russian tarc beater

If it is chromed under paint, it is definitely much higher class than low-end Rekords (which are still lovely and I had one).
I think it is made in XB3 (Kharkov bike factory) as many other Russian road and track bikes

Yep, it's from Kharkov, so Ukrainian.
I wasn't sure, because the only sticker says "Factory with 1st Degree Diploma".

Anyway, according to Scorch it's a 1968 model.

you mean, according to the dropout stamp, it '67 model =)) and yes, it's the next model up from Rekord

OK, guys... Decided to split.

For now, it's frame and the wheelset.

Quick thing. Whoever made pre-emtive dibs will have priority. Cash in hand will have priority over others.
PayPal secures the deal.
If not sold - the whole lot goes on eBay by Thursday.

would you post, I've got a mate that is interested in the whole bike.

You're getting old, Marlon.

I can throw in a Sharpie with the wheels.
only just saw this, you cheeky fucker!

bump anyway

You've owned some lovely bikes EEI.

This and the Argos (in particular) both have bags of character.

[however, those tyres are unforgivable]

They were £9 new on sale.

Maybe I will post it. Will see tomorrow if I can get a box.

would you sell the clamp on brake ?

Yes, I was about to list it. I'll have to look up the price first.

ok let me know

cheers.

the argos has now moved on kris...

I'd never sell it if it was even an inch taller.

anyway, i would take the keirin brake, if it comes to parting

would you sell the clamp on brake ?

note how my post was a few "PgUp"s higher up the thread

unless you of course pick it up, since that's what OP prefers

Promax Keirin Brake (new £47 + postage) - £25
Needs a good clean, as I was using it on a braklez during the winter.
Spare aero type forks mounts.
Very good brake with ruberised clamps.

razuuuuuuuuu has right to refusal first.

I will send you a LMNH cap for it.

dunno what LMNH stands for =)) thanks anyway, but the idea is to spare you a walk to the post office

2nd dibs on the nitto risers and stem after razuuu.

kris i can collect the brake if razuuu doesnt want it.

it's white anyway

racist!

Have the cranks been taken?

Is frame still available? If so then dibs. PM on its way

I had early frame dibs but am out - no funds :-(
