they look nice.. cool patina.. i love bikes like the olmo; you will never be afraid of scratching it !

Shipping from Germany took about 6 weeks. Deutshe Post is awful, their automated tracking system does not work and they would not reply to my numerous emails. I was especially paranoid about the Cinelli.

The seller of the Olmo was great. He accidently sent me rims and the winner of the rims my frame. He was VERY generous and quick to correct the mistake. Ebay needs more sellers like him.

Any thoughts on painting the Olmo? I pretty certain it is not one of their high end models, I think it is mid-level at best. I like the idea of keeping things original but on the other hand it looks like it has been abused and it would look great cleaned up. Also, a chroming guy I know owes me a favor.
