I always look at brake clearances, some of the post Carlsbad bikes got wonky. Here with 27” wheels no less, the rear brake pads are dropped all the way. Could not get a tubular wheel to work, pads would have to drop another 4mm at least.
so… short reach brakes here. Use a “normal” reach caliper and all would be good.
‘this bike has an all chrome fork, unusual.
paint appears original
investment cast lugs, correct seat tube bands.
seller references a bit but is not well versed, or on purpose.
odd. I saw this and immediately thought my frien’s bike was stolen. Color and seat treatment are the same on this Olmo
