Bet the guy paid peanuts...if anything.......don't blame him for cashing in tho.....it will end up on evil bay.
I love these frames, but would never/ (couldn't afford) the silly prices they fetch.
Daft thing is a good builder could make a replica for a fraction of the money these fetch -

A replica doesn't have the story or the history.
This is interesting because its what designers thought was best suited to the job at the time.

But do you know the history of that frame??? Could of been copied?. Who knows.
Have a replica and start your own story.... -

and you are underestimating the process of building these frames, and availability of the material. mate, its a * l a s e r * -

I know not of the history but if I bought it I'd do a duck load of digging and find out, there must be a story, there always is.

Also you should know that having a replica built would probably end up expensive as fuck.

I've been cycling long enough to understand what it is, and the process to build one. I did have something similar back in the early nineties built with Columbus max. ( will try and dig out the pics). And yes a replica would be expensive, but hey you'd be in charge of the finished article. I do know what silver solder and a file are .

This one is a part of sport & design history and a collectors item.
As for the price of this - it's worth 2 grand after it's restored. Maybe even more... Right now it's probably half of that cause who know how many cracks, dings and rust it has. Everyone I know who bought some kind of cycling exotica from Russia over payed badly every time.
Also what you thinks of a store room in Russia most of the time actually is a big pile of metal on the floor in a cold dark basement. The frames rust from the inside and the front forks are always bent less or more. In there no one gives a damn for it's history or design value. So this one was kind of saved from a very slow death road to the scrap yard.
Obviously it's hasn't been used since it's day as the seat clamp isn't fucked up.
So I would bet a fiver that this has a lot of rust on the inside and the front forks have gone out about 8 mm to one side! ;]]
Would so buy this if I could.
