That's the positive side of it.
Obviously a 'Peoples Bike' & this one was abandoned in Hull where the Soviet Fishing fleet used to dock...
Not surprised he left it behind, after a night on the town I reckon: )
Wierdly this same company used to make track machines for the Russian Olympic Bike teams.....
Not Russian, a product of the Ukrainian SSR. Specifically of the Kharkov Velocipyed Zavod.
If you still have this bicycle I'd be very very interested. I leave England next week for a european cycle tour but maybe we still make something work.
