Romet Wicher - trackbike, from 80's probably, haven't measure it - it's circa 60cm high
Bulls 1inch ahead stem, cheap Zoom alu handlebar, ancient [at least 30 yr old] grips
1inch ahead headset and beatiful almost-no-clearance Campagnolo fork - unfortunately someone drilled it for a brake
noname rim, old Campagnolo front road hub, Maxxis Detonator 25c
noname rim, Suzue trackhub, 20 tooth cog, Maxxis Detonator 25c
Thun road 170mm cranks with 52 tooth chainring, noname bottom bracket
cheap Zoom alu seatpost, some cheap italian uncomfy seat
old road pedals with plastic cage - better than steel imo, noname chain
52x20 - rather relaxed, though I'm able to keep ca 40 km/h in traffic - it will be changed sometime for something harder

Romet used to be the biggest bicycle manufacturer in Poland for couple of decades - nowadays it's only history.
This one here is a serious trackbike, used by a cycling club somewhere in Poland, I've bought it with this cute Campagnolo fork, which was way too short to fit this frame - i've used a 1inch tread-to-ahead adapter and it works fine.
It is not a show-bike, it is just a bike - I ride it anywhere and anytime really.
Thanks!
