Not meaning to derail the sale, but it's worth mentioning for a potential buyer that these have oddball seatpost (24.0), and headset / fork thread sizes.
The options are to either source an original headset from Germany (there are still some of these around), or use a different headset / fork combination altogether with a bunch of soda can shims between the headset and headtube wall.
Swapping the fork without using a shim is also possible by marrying the lower Renak (Diamant) headset cups to upper cups of some other makes, and these 'hybrid' headsets are also still available online if you want to avoid the hassle.
These framesets go for well under 100€ (with matching headsets) on the local classfields here in Germany.
These are from the GDR, not really Soviet (though these have the same issues), and are made out of gas pipe, which makes them plenty stiff and pretty much indestructible. -

Hey everyone,
Long shot, but does anyone have a sturdy classic-looking 10 speed (Shimano) compatible touring non-disc wheelset they are willing to part with?
Would need to be posted to the EU.
Give me a shout, thank you!
