Vintage OLMO frameset, 52cm

Advertising for a friend who's not on boards.

52x52, €200 ovno

Original paint has plenty of age related marks; could be polished up and preserved, or go all-in and repaint.

One of the all time great Italian framebuilders.

Chrome is in decent nick; too small for me, thankfully!!

Frame is located in South Tipp.

PM me if interested and I can put ye in touch.

What would you be costing for a build on that ?

Class looking frameset, what tubing is it built from?

Not sure I understand the question?

No offence; I'm just thick.

Given the era, I'd be guesstimating Columbus in some shape or form.

Sorry, if you were to get that painted, built up, what sort of costs would you reckon are involved ?

repaint would probably be in the region of 200-300 (powdercoating would be cheaper at approx 100-150), wheels and groupset probably the same depending on what parts you went for. New decals probably 30-40 quid via one of the many quality sellers on Ebay.

the beauty of these vintage machines is that they are (relatively) easy to work on, with no complications from indexed shifters, internal cabling etc., so it's feasible to do a lot of the work yourself and then get your local bike mechanic to do the final tweaking/fine tuning.
