I just acquired an Olmo of late 50's early 60's origin and need some help identifying it.
This white 23.5 inch frame (once again way too big for me so I'll want to trade or sell) has a rear derailleur (definitely predates the Gran Sport) that says patent campagnolo on the outside and Valentino (I think) on the inside. The front Campy derailleur has a boxy look and looks like it operates using a pushrod. The cable runs through a pulley-guidewheel near the BB. Stem and bar are TTT. Brake levers are a recent Shimano replacement but the Centrepull calipers are neither Mafac, nor Universal....say Bagglia (or some name that begins with "B")...sorry my short-term memory is poor. The hubs are non-campy - there is a scrolled name on the shells though, and the shells taper abruptly in a squarish shape 1 inch in from the flange. What else.....A Unica nylon saddle in black that says Grand Prix on the side. I'm sure the rims were a later replacement item but I could be wrong.
Was this a decent find, or am I just another enthusiastic garage sale victim.
