Saw an absolutely beautiful red/gold accents Olmo road bike today. It was an older woman and I mentioned it was an incredible looking bike...the bike was immaculate. She laughed and mentioned that very rarely does anyone ever say anything about the bike..she gets way more compliments on her $1000 carbon Specialized.
She was going to give it to her son but he saw it as too "old fashioned" so she kept it.
I asked if she was ever considering selling it and gave me a firm no...guess she bought it new back in the 80's.
I rarely if ever see Olmo's when out riding, especially one so clean.
