Kim, looks Italian, but can you confirm the threading in the bb? I'll take your word for the F in the seatlug. My brain couldn't unravel it. The star looks a lot like ther Guerciotti star, but the F eliminates that. I have over 75 frame makes in the Used Bike Buyers Guide that start with an F. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL

"I'm trying to figure out what maker this is. Star in fork, "F" in bb and in seat lug. Any suggestions?

hi Kim,

It looks a lot like the star in my Olmo's fork crown. The crown and chroming look familiar too, as do the cutouts in the lugs. Not sure about the BB cutouts though.

fwiw, my Olmo is an '82. Styles vary, but the star has been Olmo's logo for quite a while.
