I just acquired a very clean Olmo Sintex frame crafted from Columbus SLX tubing on e-bay. I initially planned to build it up with a mix of Campy and Shimano 9 speed parts. However before I jump in, I'd like to know a little about the frame's geometry and how it was outfitted when released. Thus far I've been unable to learn much about Olmo frames except for their current offerings. So can anyone help me out with info on this frame and about where it sits on the food chain of classic Italian bikes.

You might be able to find something on that model searching through the old Olmo catalogs which you can find here:

and here's some general info on vintage Olmo:

I have a late 80's Olmo with the crazy-overboard-pantographed Campy Super Record group that I ride often. It's the only bike I ride that always draws comments and compliments.
