Kim was asking about the Olmo frame for sale here:

http://ebay.com/<blah> 66893

In my opinion this is a low to mid-range frame that is already bid up to more than double its true value. Everything points to it being a simple gas-pipe tubing frame and most definitely not Reynolds or Columbus tubing as the description would lead you to believe. The lugs are alo a stock model to be found on numerous other brands too and are therefore of no particular collection value. The only real value I can find to this frame is the neat looking original paint, headbadge and headset. Too bad the seller isn't also supplying the seatlug collar which are nnot always easy to find and would have been Olmo branded. I believe you can find yourself a nicer and better frame at half the price.
