Bike porn!!!
"Those nuts"
Oh, nice tool!
We got nipples!
Lube it up baby, LUBE IT UP!
Smart use of straps
nipples and clamps
So tight!
Just one more turn, that's it, that's it. THERE IT IS!

the respray really turned out nicely!
One detail that caught my attention was that the rear dropout faces had some sort of texture, presumably to reduce the chance of the axle pulling forward. That's a good feature!

another livery witnessed for this model at this epoch is a darkish carnelian red flambouyant
there was also a model just below this which has the same frame and was kitted partially NR and partially Favorit
NR bits include:
chainset
gear ensemble
hubs
Favorit bits include:
brakes
pedals
saddle pillar
stem & bar
[IIRC!
]

BTW - one of these machines was ridden to victory in the Milk Race of 1970 by the Czech cycling champion Jiri Mainus, whom was able to meet ~1982
