Vintage Steel: Olmo & Masi
Loading...
Uploaded by theaesthetics on Nov 18, 2009
Can anyone deny the beauty of a vintage steel road bike? Here's a glimpse of two mid-eighties era bikes, an Italian made Olmo and a California Masi Gran Criterium. Both sport Campagnolo Record groups original to the bikes. Yep, there's some grease and grime on 'em, but they're both daily riders and not museum pieces.

Man, beautiful.....Nothing like Old School Steel......Thanks a ton! I'll be buying a 2011 Gran Criterium so i can give my near perfect Fiorelli a rest... I've been riding it since 1971.

Amazing bikes. Love the drilled levers. Ive got a bianchi giro and a gios compact. Im doing a whole SRAM force group and s30 wheels on the biachi so I can have a modern drive train on a vintage steel SLX frame and keeping the gios stock. I thought about going to a new carbon frame but I just can get away from the joy of ridding steel. And like your experience of seeing those bikes in the local shop back then, it was the same for me with that celest green biachi. Thats when I fell in love with it

@mrmikesims Let me know how the Bianchi rides with the modern components. Should be a "best of all worlds" situation. Yep, I remember the first time I saw a Celeste Bianchi in a bike shop. I must have sat there and stared at that thing for an hour. :)
