My guess is that: A) this is a Sport, or City bike type frame, given the internal routing and pump pegs brazed on, and B) this thing has had a good front end impact, bending the forks backward ... unless it is an illusion of the camera angle ... but they look bent.

Tripple 'O':? Please note the vintage Olmo on eBay. He calls it a pre-war bike.? I have no doubt that that is correct.? 110449807005?? The paint is stripped in the main and I see an aonomoly that I would not expect to see on this vintage bike.,? That is the two TT internal tube cable guides.? Is this 'correct' for the vintage or an add on late.? I see that the paint and primer remains are the same on the cable guides. Would this bike also have the Cambio drop-outs?? ?? BT
