I have an early '80s Olmo catalog with a picture of four white Olmo bicycles parked next to each other, outfitted with Galli components- one red anodized, on blue anodized, one gold anodized, and one black anodized. Rims by someone else, I think, but they were anodized to match. Always had a hard time deciding which I liked best.
