Thanks Gary, The bottle's a bit of a cheat, it's a plain white NOS bottle I had, and I just bought two Olmo headbadges online and then applied them to either side of the bottle. The bike has a lovely ride, very springy and lively, I wish I could compare it to a Colnago but sadly I've never ridden one so I can't. It feels very "Italian" to me, anyway, whatever that means.

Fabulous looking bike!
Thanks John! Golden is 50, right? Now that is impressive. To be happily married after 50 years together is something to be proud of, and getting rarer I imagine.
