> >From one of the great Italian frame builders comes this vintage lugged steel
> Olmo Professionisti frame and fork. The lugged Columbus-tubed steel frame
> measures 56cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the top
> tube, or 57cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top
> tube, with a 55.5cm top tube. This would definitely be a keeper worth
> building up to me but it is a bit larger than I thought it would be.
>
> The frame is a gun metal gray with very nice lugs and OLMO pantographed on
> the top of the seat stays and chromed chainstays. There are Olmo Team decals
> on the chainstays. The Columbus steel fork is chromed with OLMO pantographed
> in the fork crown and the Olmo stars cut out on both the fork crown and
> inside legs of the fork.
>
> There are two sets of water bottle bosses, the rear brake
> cable is routed on the top of the top tube, has a braze-on front derailleur
> tab and pump peg and braze-on downtube shifter bosses, and has horizontal
> rear dropouts (adjusting screws included) that measure 128mm wide.
>
> This frame is in good condition with no dents or rust. There are a several
> paint scratches as this was a loved and used, albeit well-maintained and
> cared for, bike. There is some crinkling of the decals on the frame. The
> fork has dulling to some of the chrome and there are several marks on the
> surface of the fork (almost looks like a chrome chainstay does when the
> chain has been dropped on it) but no pitting of the chrome and no rust. The
> frame tubes have all been treated with Boeshield T9 rust prevention spray.
>
> As a bonus, the buyer gets a lightly-worn but in nice condition Assos Olmo
> long sleeve full zipper red, white, and blue jersey. The size shows to be
> XL, but must be European sizing because looks smaller to me. An Olmo water
> bottle is also included.
>
> $350 professionally packed, shipped, and insured to the lower 48 United
> States. Pictures available on request.
