Bikes: 2019 KonaLibre- 2003 Litespeed Vortex -2016 Intense Spider Factory Build -2008 Wilier Mortorolio- Specialized Stumpjumper Hardtail converted to bafang 750 mid drive -1986 Paramount 2014 - --- Pivot Mach 429c

some of the questions are answered below. I really cannot say it has not been repainted but I suspect it has not. The decals have suffered over time. It appears that several parts are not original as pointed out the Schwinn bars make sense as the closet real bike shop back in the 70's was Hals bike Shop on Convoy where performance Bike is today.

I noticed the damage on the front rim when I pulled it out today which is too bad

I am not sure what was meant by single or double spring

uploaded some new photos

Any name on hub wingnuts?.............................No

Brand of saddle and seatpost (if any)? .....................Advocet nothing special about it could not see markings on seatpost it is not locked up

Brand of handlebars and stem?..............................SR handlebars Schwinn handlebars not original obviously

One or two springs in Weinmann brakes?.............................not sure

Brand of brake levers and pedals?...................................... pedals are not original I think, Brevete SGD is on the brake clamp cannot find other markings

brake cable braze-on stops on underside of top tube? ..............................no clamps throughout

Is the bike repainted? If original paint, any traces of decals, particularly on the downtube?.............................not sure on this there is one decal which is not readable and a cinelli sticker in bad shape

Do any family members have recollections of when this bike was purchased and/or ridden? Ask around.........................will do

These will help fill in details so you can figure out the approx year and possibly the bike model... but I don't know of a lot of old Olmo model names having Brianza lugs. The decals seem to have been lost over time.

What I see on it in those photos:
Brianza lugs
chrome head lugs and fork crown
chrome stay and fork ends
Magistroni crankset
Agrati stamped dropouts with scalloped backs
OLMO seat post clamp
C966 or O966 serial number
