my new bike!
MMVZ 113-331 folding bike
Made in Minsk, Belarus.
20 inch wheels, coaster brake
130mm/1in/26.0mm stem (needed to shim it with a trimmed down 1-1/8" to 1" stem shim since the steer tube is 7/8")
pewter 3ttt ergopower drops cause this thing is running full campy record ;D
beat up san marco regal (needed to get a brooks 7/8" seatpost clamp for old school pipe style seatposts.)
heavy as a tank but quite a nimble ride and it does bar spins!
and from the internets:
MMVZ (Minski Mototzikletni Velo Zavod) now days known as Motovelo Corp., was a leading bicycle manufacturer in the Soviet union. The company was founded in 1945, based on the equipment exported from Germany after the WWII, from the DKW plant (before the war they produced bicycles with small engine) Zschopau, who was in the Soviet zone of occupation, due for demolition as a company, tools and technical documentation were taken to Minsk (Belarus). In May 1946, the first Belarusian bike was produced. After 20 years more then 8 million bikes were produced. Now the factory change the name to AIST (stork) with the range of more then 12 bicycle models.
