Barn Find: Fassi Super Olimpia

[benc]

A Coworker pulled this from his barn and brought it to me to research/ sell/ keep. It's around a 52 so too small for me to keep. I thought I'd share pics here and see if anyone has heard of this builder as Google has not. Will likely be up in the classifieds as soon as I get the matching wheel set later this week.

Sweet bike. But man those Modolo "speedy" brakes scare me. They were speedy. Alas even when trying to slow down.

Wow, nice score!

Um.

Anything else in that barn?

What a find! Truly amazing.

Looks great for having been in a barn for 20 years.

Did you search cicli fassi? I get some stuff but work 'puter won't translate.

Sweet bike.

I should clarify that this barn is actually a large garage... My buddies mother in law bought the bike in Italy. Judging by the condition of the original brake pads, it hasn't been ridden much...

Any way to know any number your friend could feel happy with??

The railing on that porch is creating an optical illusion. At first glance I swore it had a curved seat tube.

Nice looking bike though.

Cool flashback to young racer's gear

I raced in stuff like that, everybody happy with 42 and a 19 cog in the climbs and 5 or 7 cogs, now a days if something has less than 9 is crap damm it...

IMHO, I'd sell it just like that, with no clean up. I love clean up work and that's an easy project! It needs nothing but time and elbow grease (and beer/music).

Truly Fassi-nating. It looks to be more of a 54 than a 52. Great find and it should clean up very nicely.
