Crocodile, hmmm, that is a new one on me, never heard that term applied to a classic or vintage bike before. Strange that metric standard tubing would limit you, even Reynolds had metric standard sizing as a part of their cycling. Using the seat post tube's inside diameter is a common means of narrowing down a bicycle's time frame and other aspects of its construction. Like I mentioned earlier, one of the really knowledgeable members can better help you with things about your frame, I don't want to steer you down the wrong path with my guesses about things.

Stick around please, and you should start a build post about your work on this bike, as you make it into your city bike.

Edit, I went to a translation website to try and get the correct spelling of the greeting/salutation/farewell, and they have several spellings listed there. I guess the translation between Cyrillic and English alphabet isn't exactly one to one. Anyway, I think you understood that I was telling you good-bye, and that I hope to see more form you here.
