Here we go again, Mr. Bozo, again you bring a tear to my eye. You are always finding the exotic bikes. Have you ever heard the american pickers ?. Those kids are always finding good stuff to.

I like it. I want to ride it.

This is a one of a kind Latvian bicycle from 1940. It was designed by a Latvian Aircraft designer Kārlis Irbītis and built by a Latvian electronic company VEF.

BTW Latvia is nowhere near Argentina.

That is some impressive engineering and technology for 1940. I want to learn more about the rear suspension. Is that a damper or just a spring? Cool pivot around the BB so the chain tension remains constant. I can’t figure out how the front end is supposed to work but I’m sure it does somehow.

Thanks! Your info led me to this site, where I'm assuming this bike is still being housed?

we can assume OP bike is also an unfinished prototype - he probably had to flee Simon Wiesenthal before he picked the motor for it
