In its original period-correct mode:
Some street tweakage:
More tweakage:
Big ups to TNCLR for hooking me up with the seatpost a while ago. The bike is undergoing more tweakage - I just rebuild one of the sets of Campy Record Pista wheels it came with - laced the hubs (polished them too) to FIR Net97 rims. But I'm switching that out to some super low-profile Campy Strada rims or polished FIR EA10 rims. Gotta keep it all Italian (okay, maybe the eggbeaters aren't...)
TNCLR - always good to see those beautiful steeds. Speaking of which, what rims on the DeRosa?

If I needed one good reason to leave NYC and go back to Paris-France, this bike would be reason #1.
Olmo 1978, waiting for me...
Sorry, I don't have many pictures.

I read somewhere that Bianchi and Olmo are the two oldest italian builders, both are still in activity, only one became famous ;-). 1978 is written on mine so it was easy.

Maybe you've been through this elsewhere, but I think those are drilled out cranks. Kinda scary after that one set failed.

x 10 is what my bike room looks like.
THE nicest bike I've seen in a while. I had an olmo which I never saw (long story) and is now happily residing in London.
Paris looks nice. Great bike.
Ride safe.

Whiney that Olmo is ridiculously nice! Nice classy/classic build. The guy in the car appears to agree! What rims are those (can't quite make out the label)?

I am to old, and completely out of the fashion-system. My foot size is 14-15 (48-49) and finding shoes is a big problem (if your feet are smaller, you cannot imagine). These vans are available in large sizes, cheap, OK on bikes, and fancy (I had nearly the same 15 years ago). Show me another brand/model and you become my best friend.
