Olmo Grand Prix conversion

Posted on
  • 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 =)

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

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

    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).

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

  • Some pics with dropbars. I like it.
