    Help identifying Vintage Saddle Brand

    This saddle is from a childrens half sized Olmo (Italian) road bike that is definitely original and definitely dates pre 1970. All I'm after is the maker. The makers logo was on the back of the saddle, appears to start with the letters RO and finishes with AL but I think the name is eight...

    Calling all Olmo Owners with the attached head badge.

    Thanks for the thought but no good. The above is for a 1960's Olmo whilst mine is a 1970's with an entirely different style. There is no red shield around the laurels, the Olmo is all wrong, and most importantly that example is for the seat tube rather than a head badge. I know I could...

    Olmo 16" Children's bike purchased 1970
