I picked this baby up for a song today. It's an olmo
special. 30.00 got me the frame, fork, headset, bb
fixed cup, atax stem and bars, brooks b-17 seat, I
think a japanese seat post, original rear wheel with
olmo hub, alloy rim and regina gran sport corse
freelwheel. It also came with what apear to be
original wingnuts and some very clean and shiny campy
gran sport derailleurs. the frame is rough, lots of
scratches in the paint but no dents. chromed stays are
ok, chrome on head lugs and fork crown needs to be
redone. It's definately a project but I couldn't pass
it up. I'd like to get a better idea of age. Also, is
this a plain guage steel bike or possibly columbus?
I'm assuming it would have originally come with
magistroni steel cottered cranks. What about the
brakes? Universal? I'm tempted to build it up as a
rider as is, considering the price but maybe someone
out there wants to give it a better fate? I would
consider a trade if anyone is interested. Here's a
link to some pictures:
