Ok l will risk repeating myself

It was - aluminium. You have an Olmo too! My fixie is an Olmo - lovely bike. I hope to ride it again soon.

I agree about the Olmo, l could not believe how nice it is to ride , but then l think steel has the edge over all the other exotic materials, for comfort at least !

I'm triggered by those pedals.

TIME Racing....well used , but then you knew that l guess !

Time are my all time fave pedals. But on a LOOK?!? That's well dodgy. Like fitting a Ford engine in a Chevy, or a suit jacked with joggers, or a rear brake on a fixed wheel, or alcohol free alcohol. It's just 'wrong'.

Haha, l agree completely well spotted. l stuck them on the cranks just so l could photograph them because l'm going to flog them if l can get a reasonable price. More suitable photos :

Cracking bike, that! And don't be embarassed by having 9 in the stable

Yeah l didn't want to leave the first time round but weird stuff happened and my computer deleted all my passwords and l couldn't log in to CC. So altered user name and l'm back
Slightly embarrassed to admit it but l have nine bikes in total. Three Looks, three Vitus , an Olmo , a Fiorelli Coppi and l will have to look in my workshop to see what the other one is .....obviously it's time for me to sell it if l can't even remember what it is !!

Nah ! You need a few more .

There is a long chain of events attached to those two avatars/names call them what you want. I might try to explain one day when l have an hour or two. Meanwhile as l write this , my Swedish partner is talking to another another Swedish woman in their native language, on her computer. My head is beginning to ache

Very nice,

is the other bike the TVT or did you move that on?

Thete is a look pista on LeBonCoin but 55cm, so probably too big

Nope, the TVT went a while back as did one of the Vitus 979 both to the Republic of Ireland , there seems to be a very strong cycling culture there currently.
I saw the 233p by the way, you are right ,its a bit too big for me. I'm not even sure if track/sprint bikes were made for vertically challenged riders like yours truly .
Just remember the other bike is a Veneto frame the rest is in bits for spares!

Neither does this one
