I have just found some. Apparently Cycle Speedway bikes use them. Cycle Speedway!? I didn't even know that shit existed.
But yes, here they are, just in case anyone in the future needs to know.

In return, you will change the name of this thread according to my request above - from "Russian" to "Ukrainian" :)
I've changed the title of the thread to "Ukrainian (not Russian) XB3 frame and forks" but it seems the change of the title is only noticeable when you are in the thread as aposed to in the forum.
Also, I thought it best to leave the word Russian in the title so other people who purchase one of these frames can find information on them.

Good luck Ollie. If you can pull this one off it´ll be one hell of a track bike. Love old russian bikes.
Thanks for the positive words Nuno.
Also, Scorch, your knowledge is very valuable to me and is appreciated kindly. Thanks.
I have the frame now and it isn't ridiculously heavy. It feels a little bit heavier than Reynolds 531 but not quite as heavy as 501. For the price I payed I am happy. The headset on the frameset seems like it needs new bearings, but just in case it is completely knackered; does anyone know where russian 26mm headsets can be purchased?

I managed to pick myself up of of these, plus I've seen quite a few on eBay recently.
I can't seem to find and much if any information on the company so I was wondering if anyone knows anything about them? ...or maybe someone here owns one?I found this page that has some pictures of one built up. By the looks of things they are made by XB3, with the name Pekopo or Pekopa(?)
Here's the one that's on it's way to me.

Does anyone have a set of Bareknuckle forks or similar available? Preferably with a steerer tube 20cm+.
