Why would you wish to pay anyone to fit a Tubular? Its about a 10 minute job and requires some glue or tub-tape.
I'm sure there are youtube videos showing you how, or find a local enthusiast who can show you.
There are only 2 challenges with fitting a tub;
1) stretching it beforehand so it fits easily (ideally done a few days beforehand and held on the rim before you glue it)
2) getting it straight on the rimin reality, I find it no more fiddly than fitting a tight unwired clincher.

Hi there, these are still available on ebay, but you'll pay a heavy price. The 105 ones (plastic) are 60quid new inc postage.
The 6400 and Dura-Ace ones in steel are better, however even rarer. I did pick up some steel clips for about 20 quid a few years ago, however I think I was just lucky.
You'll be better off buying a second hand pedals complete with toeclips. There are quite a selection of 105/6400 and Dura-Ace for sale (mostly for less than the price of a pair of new plastic toeclips). I did buy a bike once with these pedals where someone had fitted 2 slot toeclips (Shimano is 3) and it worked OK, though looked a bit naff. Not sure what make those toeclips were.
Good luck!

Thanks for the interest. Unfortunately it does not come with the (Campagnolo Super Record) chainset and levers. The frame is now stripped bare.
Please send me a PM with your email address if you'd like good photos, however having just signed in I notice I have 4 others potentially interested so perhaps it may have someone's name against it already....

I have a very small but beautifully made OLMO frame dated, I would guess, from the 80s. Would make a lovely ladies or youths racing bike.
The chrome is excellent. The whole frame has been repainted (badly) at some point in the past however they lacquered over the chrome which protected it. I have started removing with paintstripper and it looks really good.
The frame will require repainting if you want something that is aesthetically pleasing.
49cm centre to top of seat-tube. 49cm c-c toptube.
Engraved Olmo on top of forks and seatstays.
Top tube has brake cable through it.
Cast BB shell (OLMO)
ITA BB
£120? (can deliver to Southbank area of London, or post for £25)
