As ever in my quest for nice and preferably cheap Italian bicycles l am looking at this. Well at least it fulfils one of my conditions. The price is the price but what do you all think of the bike ?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122477059224?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Very nice, classic Italian make. All campag. Beware though, I have a Colnago frame in Aelle and it's heavy, nothing like 531.

This is a nice Olmo. To small and out if my price bracket though

I can't fault the bike apart from the price, l like that it is a 1970's model and columbus tubes especially as "cyclops" points out that the 1980's bike l was looking at is in heavier Aelle tubes. Better take a deep breath and think about it

When you say heavy do you mean very heavy or just by comparison with 531 ?

Just by comparison. I amended it to heavy on looking at it again. I don't know much about Colombus tubing but I don't think it's one of their top end ones. Perhaps someone else could comment with better knowledge.

I think you are right it is not a top end bike at least as far as l can tell from olmo pdf catalogue. I guess l could make an offer and see how the seller reacts !
