Not sure if anyone on the list has a burning interest in OLMOs, if so this might appeal. Pretty basic machine, but with (as best I can discern) all of its original parts. This was obviously an entry level machine, at my estimation from the early 60's. Needs a bit of work on the cotter pins (one is in backwards) and a new rear brake cable and new tubular tires glued on. I had intended to pull it apart and clean it up for the collection but I have too much on the go. On to someone else who might appreciate it. 22 large images here:

The basic info: Campagnolo Valentino Extra derailleurs Campagnolo shifters Magistroni (?) cottered cranks ttt bars and stem Universal Extra brakes Nisi tubular rims (with ridges) laced to Gnutti HF hubs

No tubing indicated, but it has Campagnolo dropouts, I'm guessing maybe Faulk tubing? 56cm seat tube c-t, 55cm top tube c-c. 24 lbs as pictured, so the weight is pretty decent considering the parts on it. I am hoping to sell it locally, as I'd really rather not have to spend the time packing it up and I can't imagine anyone willing to spend the extra money on shipping.

$120. If you can't come collect it, then $30 to pack it, plus shipping at cost which I'd expect to be ~$100? Crazy eh?

Thanks,
David
