Title: OMAS Headset
Post by: sparky on November 01, 2009, 05:44 PM

Anyone seen one of these before, stamped Bologna-Italy 1"x24

Came on a BMX but can't say I recognise it, sort of a bronze colour.

OMAS are mainly a road bike outfit, although they did have a range of bmx head sets and bb's bitd; not a bad looking headset  :daumenhoch:

OMAS I believe have links to Campagnolo. A lot of there stuff was used by BMX racers in the early 80's for its quality and lightness. Galli is another brand that was around at the time.

I have a set of NOS OMAS hubs here that I was going to build into wheels for a mini. Will post some pics up later.
