My 1980 Olmo Gentleman completely stock, apart from tyres, pedals, saddle and bartape. Original paintjob and decals.

Are these still for sale?

Mine.

needs black rims.

Or silver seatpost and stem.

I am looking for a carbon fork with 1 inch steerer, threadless. Preferably full carbon, but alloy steerer is ok. Column length must be at least 21cm, for coventional headsets (not integrated or semi-integrated). I am from Portugal, so please tell me final price including shipping costs. Looking to spend around 80Gbp.

Please PM me here on LFGSS or send your stuff to: migueltreze at gmail dot com. Be patient, I am often away but I will make an effort to reply asap. I pay with Paypal only.

Many thanks.

The Bottechia is from a friend of mine, migueltreze. I think he sold her already. Talk to him. :)

Yes, I have sold that bike. I still miss her...

Some pics with dropbars. I like it.

If you put some drops on that it would look really nice. IMHO

I find bullhorns more suitable for daily use and realy like the looks, but yes, I agree dropbars would also look great.

Looks great
What primer, paint , and clear coat did you use ?
Paint looks perfect

Thanks. I used Motip, suitable for auto painting.

After removing previous paintjob, I sprayed the frame and fork with 2 layers of primer, 2 of paint and 3 of clear coat. The last layer of clearcoat was after decals (designed them on PS and had them made on vynil).

Thank you, myfavouritegreek.

First bike presentation here on LFGSS, please bear with my not-so-great english writing.

I started this project last July. I only had a saddle to beggin with, but really wanted to build another fixed bike, missing the Iro I´ve owned for a while. I purchased a used Olmo frame, in Falck steel, shaved all braze ons and added an Icon Air rail carbon fork. Then came new paint job (painted the bike myself with acrlilyc spray cans), some Zeus parts, a set of BLB/Mavic wheels and this is the result. Yesterday was my first ride, the bike is ligh, runs great and very smooth. There are some minor adjustments to be made (bartape and stem height) but it is ready to go.

Thank you for your comments =)

Lovely, what size?

Thank you. The frame is a Concorde Gavina in Columbus SL, made in Italy by Ciocc, seat tube 56 (C-T), 55 top tube (C-C). Wheelbase 97 cm.

My daily ride =)

Mine!!!

Thanks for posting, TheSadR =)

Lovely bike. Just curious, would you ship it to Portugal?

One more proud owner of a Concorde. Frame is a Gavina Columbus SL built in the late 80´s. Ride it daily, love it.

Crap pic but here´s mine.

Awsome.

3rd dibs, just in case :)

The Bottecchia looks lovely

Thank you. Will soon upgrade the tyres to a clear side wall ones.

My daily ride :)

My Columbus SL Bottecchia (Giro d´Italia model, late 70´s, early 80´s), full Zeus groupset.

Damn, that is a gorgeous bike. Just purchased a Bianchi, or else I would be transfering money to your bank account right now.

Arrgghhhhfff.

I really like this bike. Can you please tell me the weight? No problems in shipping it to Portugal?

Thanks!

I am looking at getting a single speed for London as i am moving to central in a few weeks. Still not decided it i should go fixed? Any suggestions would be appreciated! I love the look of this bike below,

Could you ride this around daily?! I would most likely have brakes and not fixed. After doing some research online i was looking at Langsters and nearly bought one on eBay but outbid at the last second! I would love to build my own with a bit of help. Any suggestions on parts etc to buy would be appreciated!

Well, you can have a fixed gear with brakes. And yes, you can ride a fixed daily, I do :)

Hi. My name is Miguel, I´m from Portugal and allready have seen 41 Springs and Winters. Quite a newby in the world of bikes, my preferences go to road bikes, fixed gear and SS. Currently I own 3 bikes: a vintage Bottechia from the late 70´s, a Iro fixed and a MTB that I use for my surboard. I do not own a car, bikes are the way I move. The Bottecchia is in Columbus SL, fully Zeus equipped (period correct) and awsome to ride. The Iro has Velocity rims, a San Marco Roll Due saddle and Cane Creek geadset as major highlights. The MTB is just a deviation :)

Really cool bike. Love the color and the details.
