We’ve been building a bunch of these for warm weather cruising and abusing and for the spring, BMW was also kind enough to send us over one in a new clay color machine. These bikes are a blast to ride around while taking in that warm weather sun.

Giuseppe Olmo (November 22, 1911 – March 5, 1992) was an Italian road bicycle racer, who once held the world record for an hour’s run on a bicycle, with 45.090 km, until it was beaten in 1936. He was born in Celle Ligure. As with many Italian bicycle racers, after his retirement in the 1930s he began building bicycles, and founded Olmo (also known as Olmo Biciclette). The Olmo Biciclette manufacturing center was set up in his home town of Celle Ligure Italy in 1938, where the company continues to manufacture their bicycles today.
Koichi was trained as a Master framebuilder at the legendary 3Rensho company in Japan, building bicycles for professional Keirin riders (notably, the ten-time Sprint World Champion Koichi Nakano).
In 1987, Koichi came to the United States and founded his own bicycle building company, Yamaguchi Bicycles, based in Rifle, Colorado. He began working closely with the US Cycling Federation as the National Team Mechanic in 1988 and, in 1989, his projects included prototype frames for the US National Cycling Team. That same year, Koichi became the official framebuilder for the United States Olympic Cycling Team.
