I bought this handsome for 300 euros today.
The bike was not used for a very long time and was in poor condition, there is a lot of work to be done.
I washed, tuned, pumped up the wheels, adjusted the fit by replacing the handlebar, one of these days I will pump and I will slowly make a caramel out of it!))

Looks like a great bike for riding in snow. How it must feel to travel the same streets as Peter the Great.
Today I made a test drive. It's all very bad. The brakes are dead, the shifting does not work, the switch body is destroyed, the fork stem is worn out, the stem does not hold. Half of the needles are very loose. Finally, the frame is slightly curved along the longitudinal axis.
But I am full of optimism and will soon start disassembling and consistently restyling the bike.

Nice build, but I think it's in the wrong section? This is not scratch built.
good catch! fixed
Yet..
