Olmo's were as a rule were on a level of Basso or Colnago. I think that they are still made today.

While that particular Olmo is VERY reminiscent of a Basso Gap, it is it's own maker.

For Dogs sake, who did that handlebar tape? The chain is clearly to
tight, even for a fixie and I don't know where those shoes came from!

Not a helmet in sight either...

What was the big difference in frames back then? I know Italian ones
were usually considered more fancy but my Dutch Gazelle frame looks
nearly identical to this one. Ok, Reynolds steel instead of Columbus.
