John, below is what I show in the Used Bike Buyers Guide for Olmo. The Sintex is only shown one time, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it didn't exist other than the listed date. Sounds to me like it must have been used in the early 1980s too based on your description--or, the parts were added to a newer frame. Hope this helps. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
