Used OLMO road bike - help needed

IMO. The minimum value == $450(US) ...
[INDENT]The frame is worth at least $200 ... possibly, a lot more.

The wheels are worth at least $100 ... you could probably resell them for more than that on eBay.

The components are worth at least $150.
[/INDENT]

I hope you do some online fit calculators.

Wow... That sounds kinda unbelievable to me, cuz it costs 140 US$. If you are right, it's a "once in a lifetime" opportunity. 🙂

@garage sale GT Thanks for the heads-up, it suits me 100%.

Very similar to a bike I bought at a lawn sale a couple of years ago...A Miele Road Issue made by Alta, Exage Sport/LX, I replaced the drops with a flat bar and levers from the junk bin, swapped the fork for a new Bianchi fork.

Bike cost $20.00, fork $75.00, new tires and tubes $30.00

This bike does everything well, accelerates, fast of the roads, and climbs like a goat.

I tend to collect old bikes that I come across at thrift shops and lawn sales...picked up this Gitane Professional Tour de France for $15.00...also put a flat bar and tool pouch on it.
