Finally finished!
Sorry about the lack of updates, ran out of money and got heavily distracted for 6 months.

Just need to make some adjustments on front mech and chain length.

Thanks for the info, very interesting! As I'd only found images/info of the later models.
yeah Its a shame I stripped the frame, but it had flaked so badly it was beginning to get surface rust on the exposed areas and below the flaking original paint. The original 'soviet' stickers were lovely, I tried saving them, but none of the usual techniques worked to remove them without damage.

SOLD

For sale is a XB3 'rekord' track frame and forks, with headset.
I'll make this advert as honest as possible with detailed images and descriptions. Please read both 'the good' & 'the bad' before dibs.

Size:
Top tube: 56cm (centre to centre)
Seat tube: 56.5cm (centre to centre) 58cm (centre to top)
Downtube: 61cm (centre to centre)
Headtube: 17cm (top to bottom)
Wheelbase: 100-103cm (centre front drop out to rear drop out)
Seat post size: 25mm

Dropouts:
Front: 9.7cm (ran 10cm hub with no issues)
Rear: 11cm (ran 12cm hub with no issues)

THE GOOD: A solid track frame, no cracks, dings or noticable dents (as you can see in images) Paint has been stripped away as I planned to respray the frame as original paint was awful and had flaked away. Fork has been drilled for a brake, looks fine at the front, but drill hole at the back of the fork is rather ugly (planned to fill the holes if i resprayed)
Comes with original headset, as forks have strange Russian threading.

THE BAD: right hand side of bottom bracket is well and truly stuck, I've tried with what little tools I have to remove it, but I'm convinced the bike shop I took it to originally, rather than sort the threading, just forced one on till it 'fit' (these frames tend to be strangely threaded) I couldn't get an Italian or British threaded bb's to fit. But they got a British threaded bb to 'fit'. The left side unscrewed fine.
Ive attempted to stress and break the remaining bb rather than damage the threading any further, but had no luck. I think if you have access to a solid vice and more patience than me it can easily be solved. But I have very few tools and a coffee table/'work bench'.

I have more images if required. And please ask any questions.
No idea what to ask for price, so I'll start at £95 (posted UK only)
Happy to take advice on price.

2nd dibs on chainset, pending pictures. Give me a shout if dropped.bars turns it down.

I believe a big wrench and mallet was used.

This thread has more useful info in it than anything I could find on the Internet when putting together my Xb3 frame!

My local bike shop ended up forcing a British threaded bb in, and now the drive side is completely seized in and runs 1mm out. : (

Will be good to see how this turns out!

PM on its way : )

As title says, looking for a rear campagnolo quick release skewer. Need it to be around 140mm when closed/locked.

Not overly bothered about condition due to my ever shrinking budget.

Any help appreciated!

Hey, can you do the same £5 posted deal for this one?:

(if it's large that is) I've got a melon head.

PM me your PayPal if so : )
