Hi! It is a bicycle of my friend. Who that saw that that similar? Any information will be useful. Probably it is a prototype. Interesting who has made it and in what years. Thanks, Serg.

That looks cool, some new bikes at the LBS have one sided forks.

Wow, a pipe bender's dream

Check out the attachment at the crank and the seat post. And look at the fork! Man, that is an attention getter.
Can you imagine how many girls would line up to ride that thing?

this bicycle most likely was a working/test prototype. I have seen one of these before and that one was a prototype and as far as the owner knowing of any other models he did not know of any. During ww2 companies were looking to minimize the use of materials this is a product of that type of ingenuity. It is very interesting and pretty rare. The design actually gives it a flex in the bike for somewhat of a suspension but I do not have experience in how well it worked. I could not give a value but I would think it would bring a pretty penny.

Since the post came from Russia, can we assume that the bike is of Russian origin?

At least Eastern European?
