Maaaattttte.
 My first ever bike was a 175 russian roadie I stripped bare (think it was made by Dnepr)and used for a trail bike.
 Biggest heap of shit going.
 Didnt need brakes as it was so heavy as soon as you throttled off it stopped dead.

handling?? suspension ?? next question please.

 Get an old Beemer mate if you like that style

And one last thing... how do you pronounce 'Dnepr'? Da-neepa or Neepa or Deepa or Dunpa or what? ??? :-\

My wife is east german, so can happily speak russian, english, french, german... I am a tragic result of Australian schooling, (ie no second language, let alone third) but I shall give it a shot.

It depends where you are, as the pronunciation is different in Russia vs Ukraine vs elsewhere!
in Russian, it sorta sounds like D-nyep-rra (I cannot role my R's!)

click on the little speaker and someone will say if for you.

That is how I have heard it spoken when tootling around Europe. Good luck with it  ;D

Next door neighbour has a chinese one.
Seems to run ok but is very slow.
You can buy new wheels out of China for $30 each. [ I think you get a free tyre with each wheel. ]  :o
