Since my first "10-speed" was a 1962 Bianchi Corsa, I am a sucker for any
Italian classic of that era. That black 1961 Olmo, which sold for $1200 last week on eBay, was my kind of bike, albeit a couple of cm too tall for me.
My 1959 Capo is very special as well, because I have researched the history of the company (still in business in Vienna, under Otto Cap's son, Harald "Hary Capo" Cap, with whom I have traded several emails), because I rode a 1960 Capo for several years in Los Angeles, and because I have enjoyed meeting about a half-dozen fellow Capo Modell Campagnolo owners, making ours a pretty exclusive club. I understand Austria has a long bike trail along the Danube; I have always thought it would be fun to ride my Capo there.
