So I got the Olmo in the post Yesterday. Was relieved to find it took a 650c up front rather then a 24". Slight disappointed that I couldnt use my kick ASS NOS Zeus post as it turned out to be 26.8 not the 27.2 advertised. But thankfully the shop had a single 26.8 Campag Aero post. So bunged that in there, and then the puppy killing commenced.
Just thrown all the parts on I have lying around. Gonna take the Gippiemme BB out (too long) and replace it with my dear friend phil and need to change the horrid looking rear wheel. Trying to decide if it should be a black rim or a chrome one (Opinions?), and how deep it should be. Will sort out some alternative bars too, Mavic pursuit would be ideal, but I can't find any so it may have to be Cinelli LA84s or Profile Design.
Will take it for its maiden voyage the whole mile point five to work in the morning. Hoping the poor chain alignment doesn't kill me and the brand spanking new Tufo Tub doesn't ping off (first one I've ever put on).
Pic Below. Its shit iPhone quality on a very busy background. Ha. Photographer I am not.

I always wondered how bad this was on the frame, and how it affects the tubes fatigue...
If you are riding a Charge or a trick bike, that's fine, but on a classic track bike, or on road bike conversion, when pencil seat stays are present for instance...On my Holsdworth, I was alway nervous about the pencil seat stays precisely when skidding (I would only rarely do skid stop with it, as I am not good at it and I had a front brake anyway on that bike) and it broke somewhere else...

random place for the tube to snap...looks like it 'was' a nice build aswell

the build is like clapped-out porn-star, started off well but now just leaves a bad taste in your mouth!
