Zdravstvujtye...
Hey Wisey, Lofter check this out!
Russian made Takhion Delta style bike on OZ eBay...
http://tinyurl.com/87g3g8x
While not a Delta, it appears to be a very rare Russian team bike from the late 80s, early 90s.
Here's what the seller has to say:
"Used bike
All parts are original except front mech and seatpost.
Wheels are brand new with unglued tyres, new original chain and cassette.
Frame size : 58cm
Here is a little more about Takhion:
“Takhion was a special make of sport bicycle from Kharkov, Ukraine, in former-USSR.
Named tachyon: (in Physics) a hypothetical subatomic particle that always travels faster than speed of light.
Developed by Central Design & Technology Agency, Bike Building, or CDTA BB, from 1981 to 1992, nearly 400 custom bicycles were produced, over a dozen models for road, track and time trial competitions,
featuring original-patent aluminum, carbon and titanium components.”
Takhion bicycles were originally designed for the USSR National Team,
which used Campagnolo, Colnago, DeRosa, Rossin, Cinelli (from Italy) and RIH (Netherlands).
Takhion then supplied cycling teams of Republics Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and Kirghizia.
Several USSR National Championships, and at least one World Championship, have been won on Takhion.”
bike is located in sydney CBD and can be picked up or freight can be arranged at buyers expense"
If I were younger and still into TT and the bike wasn't an ocean away... 
Do svidaniya! |

Yeah, if I was still collecting TT bikes and was cashed up. He had it for Buy it Now for $2600. and opening bid of $900. Close enough for $AU - $US at the moment.
Cool looking machine, but not for me I'm afraid. Hope it finds a nice home.
I wonder how many of these are fixie conversions being ridden by couriers in Moscow? |

The seller says that the builder CDTA BB only made about 400 bikes of all kinds in 9 years of production so Takhion bikes are probably pretty rare...  |
