ONLY 52 framesets were made for for Olympiad 1980.

The Москва-80 project has started at 1978 and the aim was to build bicycles for Soviet cyclists for Olympiad 1980. Constructor was Reginald Vorontsov who later designed Takhion frames. In 1978-79 was built just 52 Москва-80 frames track and road both. This particular one made with Japanese Ishiwata 019 tubes (Ishiwata 019 and 022 were (like Tange #1 and #2) very comparable to Columbus SL and SP). Ishiwata ended up going bankrupt in 1993, but some of their employees went on to found Kaisei which is being used by a number of steel-frame bicycle builders today. It has a well-earned reputation for quality. Frame is quite light 1700gr. And fork is 700gr.
Frame has a stamp 35-79 on rear fork end that means this is №39 and made in 1979.

This particular frameset were in good mechanical but sad cosmetical condition when it was found and desperately needed to be restored. So restoration was made according to highest industry standarts. New chrome work, paint and decals are 100% similar to original ones. Frameset was never used after the restoration.
