quoted because this shouldnt go unnoticed. well jelly, rat only adds to thr character. they were soviet or some soviet republic team bikes right? (seem to remember your latvian..)

You're right - I've got this from russians. These frames were used in 1986 World Track Cycling Championships by USSR team as you can see in this video:

The frame has Russian "re-standardization", they welded additional metal plates on track ends - regular 120mm spacing was changed to 114mm....
Unfortunately week ago I noticed the frame has a small crack on seat stay so now it's going to be touched by TIG again. It gets more and more beautiful:)
Nearly related to latvians, but I'm lithuanian.
