Blue to white fade with chrome fork, Italian made Olmo bicycle. Fitted with Shimano 105 brakes, drive train, and wheels. Friction lever shifters on the down tube with a 6-gear cassette and 2-gear chain ring.

It's an awesome city ride - tight on turns and smooth, with plenty of gears for elevation changes - and, though the scrapes and dings make for a shabby looking ride, it makes the quality and provenance of the frame incognito to would-be bike thieves. Steel frame quarried and built in northern Italy - no dents, cracks, or bends.

The bike started it's riding life near Turino, Italy and ended up in East Berlin, where I've been commuting with it and using as my general city bike. I've brought it to London with me and now would like to sell since I won't be commuting to work.

Frame size 50cm high (middle bottom bracket – top seat tube)
Top tube 52 cm (middle seat tube – middle head tube)

A great bike for lovers of the classic road frame who need city performance and durability.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
