Still available - alot of interest, but no dibs yet. I would give preference to anyone who can collect the bike cause it's a little difficult to post in my current set up.
Some more pics below for those who requested it. I also built the frame up and went for a spin. I am reminded how much I love the feel of this bike. I'll be sad to see it go

Rare, light and rapid XB3 road bike - 10 speed - made in Kharkiv, Ukraine under USSR, 70s/80s. Complete with its own XB3 toolset and a leather satchel that attaches under the Top Tube. These were lightweight road frames in their day, intended for semi-professional use. See more info about XB3 here
Mostly original components with selective modern upgrades, see details below. I've really loved riding this bike, but now I mostly ride single track so it just sits in storage. It could do with replacing cables but it is totally rideable as is. Give this bike a little TLC and it will amaze you with its responsiveness and performance. I'll be sad to see it go.

Mino Denti brakeless track frameset with unique features - crimped down tubing, curved seat tube, fin webbed area at BB, ladybird panto'ed forks, not drilled for brakes front or back. No problem with toe-overlap.
I bought this frame on LFGSS nine years ago.. (original thread link and pics here) built it up and rode it for years..until I quit riding fixie and it's been in storage since then.
The jetfuel blue/purple two-tone paintjob has sadly started to go. You could leave it as is, or invest in a respray and this bike would look awesome again.
Now the clear out begins, and it sadly has to go.
Including the attached components and the Araya/Paul rear wheel for a quick sale (details below). Offers around £350.Location: Newbury, West Berkshire (53min train from Paddington)
