Just saw this very nice Olmo deluxe http://ebay.com/<blah>

Does anyone here have any experience with Olmo's of this vintage? Were such Olmo's considered right up there, if not with the very finest tier bikes, with the better Italians of the time, like Frejus, Legnano? Of note is that the seller has the weight of this bike at 25lbs, which seems rather heavy compared with other top racing models of that time, such as Frejus or Cinelli? Does this have more to do with the parts or were Olmo Deluxe frames a lot heavier? Thanks,
