Best, Ben

Ben, you can get two fluidisk wheels, or 2 Takhion frames??? Big difference if it worth 1800. I would (and could) never pay 1800 for any of these, but as I commented above on the Takhion in Australia, there the asking price was 9k, although that I never took seriously, even if its a Belarus olympic bike. One thing is for sure, whatever you would pay now, cheaper they won't become in future. But if you get the road TT version, consider, that these had special parts e.g. in most places a Campy might fit, but once I read, that for the rear-facing front brake it doesnt - its only a problem if it has the fork mounted handlebars, which is the coolest thing and 80% of the source of my love for these.
Here's the referenced beast, thanks to the "developments" the same 180k ruble is now ~2900 USD:
