Jeremy/List
I have a restored OLMO DeLUXE frame that has not been built (headset only)
I'll see if I can find a scale and weigh it. Don't be surprised though if
it's close to 7.5lbs
I am wondering if part of the increase in the weight can be due to the lug
set, these are beefy lugs, take a look at my OLMO, listed on a public page:
