Olmo Road Bike Build
Postby DJIntegr8 » Tue Jul 17, 2012 1:07 pm
Plans are to give it a clean up and maybe respray in a deep red colour and find some reproduction stickers. Not sure which way to go as far as groupset – I can pick up a full Campy Veloce 10spd for $480, but I would like to try and find some mid-90s Athena or Chorus Ergo stuff – seems hard to find though, been trawling eBay and other sites with not much luck. Probably end up being my wet weekend training bike, keep the commuter for work duties only
Here are some pics from the auction:

Seddo, went for $220 with only my bid - suggests that it may have been a bit much but I liked it
Might swap the (unused) mudguards over to my commuter as they have heaps of coverage with the flaps, keep the slimmer SKS Chromoplastics for this one. Head tube is quite short and low but still nice to sit on with some spare parts.
Anyone used the Challenge Parigi-Roubaix tyre before? Deciding between these and the cheaper Panaracer Pasela Tourguard.

Just put together the wheelset while I'm waiting for the paintwork.
H+Son TB14 Polished Rims
Veloflex Master 23 Tan Sidewall
Campagnolo Record F/R Hubs
Small collection of DT Swiss nipples and spokes
And the build begins..
Tensioned up and test mounted tyre

Agreed. I was living in London at the time, and these were marketed as a "winter" frame - bigger tyres and mudguards for their horrible winter. Slightly longer wheelbase, but still reasonable angles. The tubing was usually pretty basic, but always CrMo, and usually double butted.funnybike wrote:From memory, those decals place it around 1999 - 2003.
This one will make a really nice bike.

Yeah, when I bought the bike initially it was going to be a wet weekend ride and keep my TCR for dry days.. Now that it's repainted, I'm not sure I want to ride it in the wet any more!Velo13 wrote:Agreed.

One problem I have come across is that my collection of Shimano tools is pretty useless for an Italian build.. Have to start a Campag box now..

Smaller dimension frames always look a little lazy to my eye, but this thing looks like it will present as a well balanced, all round commuter friendly bike. Don't be at all surprised if it feels so damn comfy you will pick it first as an old friend go to, ever reliable bike.
