Got this old beauty from original owner, who even raced with it the first few years. Later he added fenders and used to ride to work and back etc. Bike was put to hang on the attic ceiling around 1980 and not ridden since that. Now cleaned, waxed and fully serviced, with new chain, brake and shift wires and casings, brake blocks and brake lever hoods, nos Soviet USSR tubulars and cloth handlebar tape.
