New chaine and the bar is 4 cm shorter. Makes it look a lot better.

A simple “YES” will do!

B-E-A-utiful.
July 8th, 2010 @7:38 pm
Yes a 10 Perfecto !

Like it. I like the shot of the frame name on the back of the seat tube. Reminds me of the 80′s raleighs.

best olmo build on here IMO
July 9th, 2010 @12:50 pm
Grand!

Ok whats up with the Olmo conversions and their high ratings? yeah its a nice bike but there are better ones, better conversions too IMO. Is there something I’m just not getting about these Olmo’s?
July 15th, 2010 @7:33 pm
I think it shows how many suckers for a simple bike actually exist

This one is more interesting than the black one. But compared to some of the others on this site, I don’t get what all the hype’s about.

The problem with this site (as you all know) is that everything comes up randomly as you click through. So awesome bikes like http://www.myfixedgear.net/bridgestone or http://www.myfixedgear.net/porteurxleather get lost in the mix while bikes like this that stay in the top ten longer than they should…continuing to get high votes…just cuz they’re “in” the top ten. No…I’m not trying to be a dick….This is a decent conversion. But it’s really not the #2 bike on here.
August 3rd, 2010 @9:16 am
Top ranked? Ha! Sorry but it’s just not worthy.
August 3rd, 2010 @10:53 am
I like how simple it is, the leather, and the chrome raked fork. Top rating in my book.
August 3rd, 2010 @11:06 am
I hear you Luft. It’s a nice conversion. But I see why ppl are getting tired of seeing these Olmos in the top spots….I am too. They’re nice bikes but compared to a lot of other bikes on this site, they’re just OK at best. There are some true works of art on here that aren’t even close to being in the top ten. I’ve kinda given up on the rating system here since it’s flawed in that you can rate more than once. So it’s far from accurate…defeating it’s purpose.
August 3rd, 2010 @11:32 am
ya,very nice conversion,better than average,nice parts but in the end-still only a conversion.(donning my flame-proof undies and ducking).not that there’s anything wrong with that LOL
August 3rd, 2010 @2:13 pm
Just wait, Blue Steal will be in the top Ten again. Negra Modelo anyone or Instant Karma . Raleigh Path Racer is top ten material also. I do like this bike still and many others as well. Blue Arora ?
August 3rd, 2010 @3:00 pm
Wooden, you’re kind. Truth is I don’t even think my bike is top 10 worthy compared to a lot of bikes on this site. Bikes like PorteurXLeather, Vintage, Bridgestone, Retro Raleigh Path Racer, the classic Schwinn Paramounts, that Yellow Cinelli, Refugee Bandit etc. I’m not sayin there’s a right or wrong and of course it’s all personal taste. But some bikes are really amazing and some that seem to hang around the top 10 are just whatever by comparison. Cheers.
August 3rd, 2010 @3:54 pm
Mine is in the lower fortieth percentile and that’s fine by me cuz it’s all I have.
August 3rd, 2010 @4:03 pm
Luftie, If you match your bike colors to your sneakers which way will the ratings go ? Bob Jackson has only one picture and never to be heard from again ? Unusual name this Olmo made where?
August 3rd, 2010 @4:30 pm
Probably down woody. Lime, grape and turquoise is a total hipster combo and it would be slashed. Not to mention I’m not that flashy, it’s just one pair of shoes.
August 11th, 2010 @3:13 pm
so this is the number 1 bike on here so far?
does it deserve it? hmmmm….
does it deserve top 10? i think the case could be made….
i still think it looks very nice.
August 20th, 2010 @9:36 am
Sorry.. really tired of seeing this and the black one.. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz
August 20th, 2010 @11:56 am
F#ck these olmos! Don’t belong in the top 10. These two olmos are average at best and on the boring side.
August 20th, 2010 @11:58 am
lots of votes means lots of ratings?Shocked am I -I say,shocked.I gotta get some more ‘puters.
August 20th, 2010 @12:02 pm
lol there are some amazing bikes on here, for sure, and many of them are probably much better quality….
but i will say i am a fan boy for this and the black olmo, simply because i like the looks of them….like, take the kinfolk…im sure its a nicer bike overall, but i just personally prefer the look of this to that bike.
i dunno, to each their own i guess….
August 31st, 2010 @9:34 am
Whoa!! ill. Let’s not get crazy here. I respect your opinion though I strongly disagree. These Olmos are just average conversions that would have been better left as roadies. The Kinfolk bikes are beautiful works of art. Anyway…you’re right…to each his own. But I’d take half of this bike http://www.myfixedgear.net/kinfolk over both the Olmos even if they were dipped in gold and came with a years supply of free beer.
