Even though he's in the business of selling Olympia parts :D

Apparently he has a two-group-version and a predecessor simply named "Olympia", too!

Beautiful. It must be one of the only ones in existence. It looks like the group comes from one of the Italian makers, maybe Faema, but I don't know them very well.

Yes, the Cubica has a hydraulic group - and is somewhat OT here, but the commercial levers also pictured there should make up for it, I hope :roll:
