You might be wondering with all these pieces in collection what is my daily. Well of course my daily rider is exactly like any other one of my two wheelers. I ride in stye
. As a teen my daily was the red Спутник, with it's four speeds it was enough for me to go to school and go on longer bike rides but of course in the long run a Спутник or Турист for everyday use is a bit silly and obviously not the most comfortable for city and country riding. Along the years I had many bikes for the purpose of riding up and down in the rain, mud snow and dust, whatever job needed to be done it was done on bikes I didn't mind getting dirty and "torturing". So let me show you my current daily:
Well this is obviously not it's currently state
As you can see this ПВЗ 10-В from 1970 seemed like a good fit for everyday use. A bit beat up, missing parts that I can easily replace from my spare parts box. Not a rare model, nothing they would steal. Strong, simple and reliable.
My original idea was to just slap on any saddle, add a front brake and just use it, but I couldn't resist. I had almost every part to make it complete to my desire. All I needed to search for was a rear rim, since I had a PVZ hub at hand and one of my friends gave me a chain guard, originally green so I painted it black and tried to match the existing patina to the rest of the bike. Since then it has been riding for almost 2 years now without any problems. About 400kms...I don't know because one odometer got jammed and I had to replace it so I don't know the exact mileage.
Here it is all finished:
Might be crazy to use the original tyres for a daily but that's currently the case.
