Basically cut up a rear rack, cut and bent some brackets, then used whatever i could find in my parts box. Wheels came from a Masi, some cheap unsealed hubs to some weinmanns.
Frame is a Kuwahara, was an Indi Hawk (here in Australia). Kuwahara headset and bb cups with gipiemme spindle, Kashima Saddle, Sugino Aero Mighty cranks, Stronglight fluted seat post. Stem and bars are cheapy items. Oh and the Penfold Grange Wine Box from the oldies.
Plans if i decide to actually spend on this thing - coaster brake 700c wheelset, 26.0 post (a nicer one), powder coat frame, Nitto Stem with VO Montmartre bars, varnish/weather seal the box. But we'll see, i kinda like it being an 'i dont give a fukk' bike.

Ahh, that's handy, because I thought all Columbus Air tubes had a funny shaped/sized seattube with a propriety post. I wonder if the ST is Air, or if its something else...
...either way, lovely bike and a great find.
Yeh, i thought it was columbus MS maybe? but i came across the 'speed bicycles' website and they have an Olmo with what looks to be the exact tubing, and they said it was columbus Air, i guess they could be wrong?

Picked this up a few nights ago, from what i can find. Its a late 80s/early 90s Olmo Leader, Columbus Air (Aero/oval tubes and rear stays) Internal brake cable routing as well as internal gear cable routing. Unfortunately a litle too big for me, its a 56 TT c-c
It was so nice i bought it anyway knowing it would be too big, im a twat i know.
Bike as is when i picked it up, came with a 90% complete Galli grouppo, Aero KL.
