An old soviet 4 gear roadbike I found from a flee market.
It’s fixed up with a new coaster brake back wheel, but the rest is secondhand stuff.
I’ll send in a better photo soon as this was the only reasonable one I had at hand.

I have a bike with the same ХВЗ -logo (ХВЗ= Харьковский велосипедский завод=Harkov bike factory) waiting to be worked on. My avatar picture explains why it will need to go single speed.
Harkov is the city where they made the coolest track bikes ever made, the Takhions.
