From one of the great Italian frame builders comes this vintage Olmo Sintex
frame and fork. The frame is made from high-end Columbus SLX steel tubing and is
fully lugged, with a matching 1" threaded steel fork.
The frame measures 55cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of
the top tube, or 56cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the
seat tube, with a 55.5cm top tube.
The frame is painted a light and dark metallic pewter with red decals. The right
chainstay is chromed. The threaded steel fork matches the paint scheme on the
frame. There is Olmo pantographing on the top of the seat stays, brake bridge,
top of the bottom bracket shell, and fork crown that are all filled in with red
paint to match the decals...very nice!
There are two sets of water bottle bosses, rear brake cable is routed inside the
top of the top tube, frame has a braze-on front derailleur tab and pump peg and
braze-on downtube shifter bosses and braze-on cable guides under the bottom
bracket shell, with horizontal rear dropouts (adjusting screws included) that
measure 126mm wide (7, 8, 9, or 10 speed wheels will fit).
The frame and fork are in very good condition with no dents or rust. There are a
few paint scratches on this lightly ridden, but well-maintained and cared for
used bike. The chrome is excellent with no pitting or rust. The frame tubes have
all been treated with Boeshield T9 rust prevention spray.
As a bonus, the buyer gets:
Mavic Open Pro 32 spoke wheels on Campagnolo (not sure of model) hubs with
Campagnolo skewers. The wheels appear to be in good shape and spin nicely on the
Campy hubs. Also includes installed Vittoria Kevlar clincher tires. I would
replace the tires before too long if I were riding this wheelset.
A Campagnolo 13/23 9 speed cassette (not sure of model). The cassette looks very
clean and lightly used.
New Suntour GPX brakeset, including levers and calipers.
New set of handlebars.
A couple of pictures available, with more available when the weather clears up.
$375 or best offer for everything picked up in McAlester.
Thanks,
Frank
