Hi,
I recently bought, from what seems, an 80's production OLMO complete with Galli Gruppo.
Yes, the previous owner had replaced the Campy components & made it all Galli!
I'm still figuring out how to post pics......
It seems to have been well taken care of & was restored to age and vintage of it's time. The paint is a pearlescent white and decals are all original and in excellent condition. Frame has an engraved chromed fork crown and driveside chainstay. Bicycle has less than 700 miles.
I don't know much about bikes, forget about vintage. I'm including excerpts from some of his e-mails.
Galli gruppo: Headset, BB, Crankset 170mm 52/42, hubset, brake calipers, brake levers (hoods are dia-compe), front and rear deraileurs (new), braze on shifters (new) drilled and fluted seatpost (single bolt, new).
Wheel set: Ambrosio Synthesis tubular rims with Galli sealed bearing hubs (built up new)
Tires: Gommaitalia glued (new)
Freewheel: Regina CX 13-21
Handlebars: Cinelli Champion de Mundo 64-44
Stem: Cinelli XA 120mm with a Concor Superleggera saddle(alloy rails)
Now, here's the big question...
What should be the bike worth?
How are vintage Olmo compared to say Peugeot or Colnago of '80s?
Is having all Galli component is a bad thing? How do they compare to Campy NR/SR?
Should I replace it with Campy to have a better ride?
What type of pedals to buy that will match the genre/ year model? I don't have the fancy bike shoes. From where?
Kindly advise.
Thank you!
