Charming bike in a mid-level funky way. Surely the Gran Sport rear derailleur cannot be original? Some of the mid-range racing bikes from the

late '60s-early '70s take a lot of cues from '50s and earlier high end racing bikes- stuff like wingnutted axles and cottered steel cranksets. Maybe this Olmo is from that period? Kurt Sperry Bellingham WA
