THE ULTIMATE "EROICA" BIKE - Historic 1975 OLMO Competition "C" Titiano

Description: I was told that this bicycle was the Top Olmo display bicycle at the NY bike show. There are supposedly corroborating details, in a review article about the bike. I have not made a systematic attempt to verify the story. I originally bought the OLMO to use some parts for rebuilding my '74 Ron Cooper. After getting acquainted with the bicycle and hearing it's history, I thought about how unusual it is to have any 40+ year old bike, with mint condition original parts. (My other bikes aren't bad, but not in this league.) Add in the fact that it is an existing example (if not THE example) of the OLMO Catalog Competition "C" Titiano. It is the original catalog color and the custom modifications match the specifications with the possible exception of the wheels (bar tape color too). Apparently, the "decals" were simple applique, and a zealous wipe down with WD-40 smeared the lthem badly, and so were completely removed. It is a unique font but could easily be restored, or not, as the new owner chooses.The bicycle is completely equipped with the original Super Record components in essentially NOS condition (look at the pedals) with a phenominal level of milling and pantographing.Extra-special details:1) 1st gen Super Record rear derailleur pat '75 with titanium bolts2) Elegantly re-profiled and relieved Super Record cranks (imagine mexico style cranks done by bugatti)3) Milled pre-CPSC Super Record brake calipers.4) 1st Gen Super Record Bottom Bracket, with alloy cups, titanium axle5) pantographed Cinelli 1a stem6) Milled shift levers7) Cinelli Unicanitor suede saddle8) Super Record pedals with titanium spindles Thanks for looking,Eric
