Been a while I did a "current projects" thread.
Last week I picked up a couple of bikes and one of them was an 1978 Olmo Competition. I already own an Olmo, and I always had a weakness for the brand.
The frame isn't in great condition, but good enough to build it up as close as possible as period correct. Also non-original fork, but the chrome one it has is in really good condition so that's not too bad.
Size 59C-T, so I might actually be able to ride this one.

From the 1978 catalog, I won't go for all the panto but I'll use this as a guide for the seat-handlebar tape color combo:
