The price was high, but I could not be more pleased. My neighbor had a early to mid-60s SC when I was a kid 30+ years ago. I always loved that bike, his was blood red but I like the blue and its exactly my size - what more could I ask for?

I have the original wheels, Atom hubs, 4-speed Regina and Weinmann tubulars. I am building a pair of "race" wheels, Campy Gran Sport high flange hubs, Regina 5-speed on Mavic (couldn't find Fiamme or Nisi in a 40/32 drilling). It originally had a Simplex suicide front shifter, the owner sold that separately and went for more than I had (blew it all on the frame) and a Huret TdF rear derailuer (he threw it in with the rims). I am going to "upgrade" the derailluers to Campy Gran Sport. The cranks are 3-prong Magistroni. Universal brakes (no hoods, yet) on Cinelli steel bars and stem. I bought a Campy seatpost and a Brooks (I posted it on another thread). Bar tape and brake housing will be white and I am eying a Silca pump on ebay for the pegs.

The Olmo may get a repaint in the same color, I got access to a car restoration shop. Racelite flip-flop hubs on the same Mavic tubulars, Stronglight 3-prong cranks, Cinelli adjustable stem, Cinelli steel bars will be the components. I still need a seat, post and front brake. Hopefully the cycling Gods won't damn me to hell for mixing Italian, French and English parts.
