Haha, the kids are almost out, she is actually back to spending more time enjoying some hobbies with me and I think it fills her time. So as I long as I keep it in my designated spaces and don't venture too far, we are good.
Per Peter's Olmo website, all parts appear original except maybe the freewheel although it looks like it has been there forever.
Shimano UG if anyone knows.
Have started cleaning up and will post up some this weekend. First issue was a stuck stem, took some penetrant, loosened headset and slid up, applied a little heat on the fork and smacked with a rubber hammer (multiple times;-)). Here are the stats and some close ups;
-Bottom bracket-stamped "C"
-Brake levers; Weinmann with rotted Weinmann hoods (leaving these on)
-Brakes: Italian Universal 61's
-Campy parts; Gran Sport front (push spring type) and rear derailleurs, shifters, DT cable guide.
-Freewheel-Shimano UG
-Hubs; stamped Olmo. Wheels are aluminum, too dirty to see if marked.
-Magistroni parts stamped Olmo; cranks, headset, seatpost clamp.
-Pedals; Sheffield
-Seat; missing (replacing with a brooks no in use)
-Seatpost: unmarked
-Stem and bars, ambrosio (became 3TTT mid sixties)
