It should be a cheap hobby. You can, of course, put into an old bike a modern "stuffing", as do the re-enactors to recreate scenes of the war, but it will not ... All the machines in the club "Motor Stalingrad" collected from the original, as they say, "native" parts.

And as in the Great Patriotic time to rework quality just was not in a hurry to put "everything for the front, everything for victory", factory workers put in place a hole in the metal trim the patch. This a patch Alexey Nikulin left untouched. In art collectors rarity these things are valued as a typo in the old book, as marriage to a rare postage stamp as a mole on his cheek ideal beauty. This part - which only adds to the beauty in the eyes of someone who knows how to appreciate and enjoy.
