The other day a beautiful late sixties Olmo popped up at the Japan auction, I believe the same model as Aldo's famous bike, and similarly abundant in the "mojo" department. It was too large for me, so the enterprising spirit took over and I thought to pick it up and offer it at ebay. When I checked out some of the earlier ebay Olmo auctions, it seemed that there was not a whole heck of a lot of bidding warfare over this marquee. Winning bids were not above a couple hundred dollars, even for very nice thirty year old frames. Is my impression correct, that there is not so much interest when it comes to Olmo amongst classic devotees in general? Just a wonderin'......?

Dennis Young The word "mojo" brings up 701 matching posts when searched at the CR list archives, and also sounds very similar to a choco drink in Hotaka, Japan
