I do love the maddest bike in the known universe
Added something conventional looking to my collection but still suitably weird, an ex USSR 10 speed roadbike. It's a Ksv, possibly a "Turist" or a "Sputnik" and like all odd bikes it has some weird features. The seatpost is 25mm exactly or slightly smaller in diameter, the fork steerer is 26mm OD and the BB although conventional English threaded is 70mm wide. All the tubes are metric such as 28mm exactly instead of 28.6mm but the wheels would have been 27 x 1&1/4" in original spec. Pretty much all info on them is in broken English translated from Russian or Ukrainian so I have had to join Russias answer to Facebook, VK to find owners clubs to get any info. The adventure begins
