Emanuel, Jeff.... listers, Thats the 2nd or 3rd time that SAME Olmo has been offered on ebay ....in my memory. Fwiw my understanding is that Olmo were a small operation and had a few nice machines which although perhaps not as mainstream as Colnago Supers or Pinarello Montellos... rode every bit as well and some old hands would say better...also as well built as comparable famous Italian builders. my own mid 70's Olmo .is a superb ride and handles better than my C. master.. off/t... most certainly it is better at handling our coarse Ulster tarmac roads..

There is just such an Olmo on eBay now -- here it is and a purty beast too:
My understanding is that Olmo is kind of like the Schwinn of the Italian bike world -- mostly mass-market, but also distinguished by some high-end models that ranked objectively (if not in terms of sex appeal) with the best.
