When did Olmo stop putting Olympic rings on its decals?

The full bike is in the 22-24lb range with non-original steel crank and pedals. Nisi montcalieri rims, unmarked hub. Regina 14-22 freewheel. alvit rd, thurel fd, huret shifters. Olympic decals on headtube and downtube. The OLMO downtube decal is in a Roman like font, Non italic, and looks like it would have been printed with a space between each letter.

I have a '78 Olmo road bike that still has the olympic rings in the middle of the five pointed star on the decals on the head, seat and down tubes as well as the pantographing on the big chainring.

Thanks for the reply. I thought the olympic rings might date the bike back to the 60s, but I guess that can't be determined.

I'm guessing 1960s because of the font for OLMO
