FS: Olmo Racing complete bike (8-speed Campagnolo mix)

Hi,

Time to let this one go, it's not getting ridden. 55cm Olmo made from Columbus Gara tubing.

I bought this on a bit of a whim as I fancied a bit of 90s Italian steel. It's been pretty lightly ridden during the 10 years I've owned it mainly because I always thought it's a bit too nice to use purely as a winter workhorse. It's a really plush ride, the steel frame really smooths out the road surface. It's one of my favourite bikes to cruise around town on. Shifts well and has recently been given a light service at Clever Mike to make sure all is in order. It's ready for summer miles.

Things to mention, it's obvious but this does not ride like a modern road bike, its gearing is pretty big by modern standards and the position is fairly long and low. Usual paint chips as befitting a nearly 30 year old frame but not terrible. Slight tear in the left hand hood. Fits me well at 5'10"

Oh yeah, Euro brake set up so watch out.

Originally bought from JD from this very forum. Link to the original sale thread is here which contains all the details you could ever want.

Cheers.

Man that is a good price give him what he wants.

Not based in London, so it’s a fair drive

But at that price, I’d do the trip (assuming you’re not in Aberdeenshire, etc.) There (was) is someone on here who will collect / deliver for fares (can’t remember the username) which might be an option?

@dicki is your man

Thanks but I would rather see it before handing over money, have had my fingers burnt buying on description and shipping

Fair enough. Make it a nice trip with a bit of bike shopping, so if not up to your standard you are still quids in. Just not today obv, with tens of thousands of ball chasing, beer drinking, other lycra wearing - if wearing at all- men descending on the capital :)

:) yes, not an inviting sight ! I hope they have something to celebrate though

Dmed you ✌🏻

Hi all, thanks for the interest and all the comments. I've replied to all the PMs I've received.

I'm prioritising asking price and local collection for the moment. Hope that's cool with everyone.

Cheers.

Hey, is this still available? We're in Finsbury park so coming to give this a look is no problem.

Thanks for all the interest, the bike is now sold. Hope it puts a smile on the face of its new owner.
