The only time I saw distributor level advertising here was in the mid 80's, and that was only upper level frames.

yeah, those were the ones I remember seeing in races and training rides. I sucked many wheels of a couple of Olmos back in the days of our training rides. A silver and a blue with typ. Campy SR. I have never seen a lower end Olmo and I have seen a lot of race bikes back in the 80s. That was all steel columbus SL frames from most Italian makes. No carbon, no alum. Well, a Vitus or two..
