Hilary,

I would be interested. I have a stunning OLMO which I was fortunate to purchase from list member Lee Berg. She is almost all built up, awaiting a wheel build and re-anodizing of stem and bars. If you establish a registry, please let me know and I'll provide serial number and details of mine.
