Hello from Argentina, vintage bicycle enthusiasts!
I am continuing to photograph some vintage bikes my father owned and stored in a property I am clearing out and repainting to sell.
One of the most curious bikes is this Olmo Di Milano bicimotore from around 1955, I believe. This one doesn't have the engine, gas tank, or connections. I guess one of the previous owners before my father must have decided to turn it into a regular bicycle for some reason—maybe the engine broke down and there was no replacement, or they just wanted a regular bicycle. It has a large front headlight, but it doesn't appear in the photos—I have it stored somewhere and need to reattach it. I think that one is also either powered by fuel or by a dynamo, but I'm not sure. The serial number appears to be D 110 (see last picture).
Could anyone guide me on how much the bike might be worth as it is? Considering that it looks mostly original, if not completely, yet it has some rust and it's missing key parts. I have seen complete models in online bicycle museums; perhaps a collector could restore this particular one to its former glory and preserve it as it deserves.
Thank you very much in advance.
