It's not every day that we encounter exotic Italian elements like this rare Guerciotti.
Paulo Guerciotti, who built this frame in the early 80's is currently celebrating his 50th anniversary since founding this special brand, began his career in the 60's and soon became a respected and leading manufacturer in his field. During the 70's, riders who would go on to become world champions and non- champions of the Italian Giro were riding Guerciotti's bikes. I doubt that Paolo would approve of what we did to his bike, but in the temple of Gordon Bennett minimalism and transmission systems are impure and the root of all evil ;). Besides, this rare frame is the most important part, so now it will continue to hang around the city, right? While the handlebars, brakes and chain system were kept and renovated, the rest of the bike got two new brake levers, a modern set of wheels and of course new pedals. We also changed the chain and bar-tape with a "fast red" color. That's how we like it - when exotic classic modernism meets quality. Guerciotti 80's bike - only 3000 NIS at Gordon Bennett.
