Москва-80

[das_spoon]

Some changes with Takhion parts

 

 

 

 

The Москва-80 project was started at 1978 and the aim was to build bicycles for Soviet cyclists for Olympiad 1980 by constructor Vorontsov who later designed Takhion frames. In 1978-79 was built just 52 frames for both track and road.

 

 

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. With original components weight of complete bicycle is 7.0kg.

 

At the end Soviet team use Colnago bicycles in Olympiad 1980 because of some bureaucratic obstacles and corruption reasons, i guess, but Москва-80 was used by their Cameroon colleagues. Anyway this is one of the best bicycles were made in Soviet Union.

 

This bicycle I built up with Galli Pista and 3ttt components, hope you like it.

Well..it's nice to share story and not only forged steel :)

What's about the third photo?

Is the frame a little bit bent?

 

Btw for me is a PORN bike.

just some technical numbers. it also has 25 -79 on fork end - it means that the frame was #25 in 1979.

I'm happy that you like guys, will try to find the original components for this frame, but it is not so easy(

so the original Москва-80 reminds me a Colnago Hour Record bike a little
