This is cool -- great thread. Previously I had seen only the Sputnik bikes. Its fun to see the mix of Russian/Cyrillic and English/Roman text on the various components and frames.

Seeing the Russian derailleurs reminds me a bit of Capo's (Austria) brief foray into derailleurs, which looked like crude copies of the Simplex of the day.
