This XB3 "CNOPT" frame was built in 1987. Called the "Sport-Git" .. it is their "Sprint" Model.
These frames were built special order from 1987 - 1991 and are quite rare. They built about 50 frames per year ( small circulation ) by
Kharvov bicycle factory in the experimental workshop of the HVZ on special orders of the Soviet Special Racing Teams. Today Kharkov is in the Ukraine.
Unfortunately this bike does not have the original Soviet parts on it like cranks, wheel-set etc. Either way it's an amazing bike to ride because of its short wheelbase and angles of a sprint machine. The bike seems very fast and is extremely twitchy to ride.
