"Bike of the Day {BotD} ::: Guerciotti - this bike is something special. It's everything an Italian road bike...loves to be. Right down to the vintage die in the chainring. See it? Here's a link to more photos http://bit.ly/uaC2Y4 Take some time, love your ride. Why not make it an expression of what moves you?" (from Elephant Bicycle)
I ran across this Guerciotti (Gwer Chi otti - takes a few tries to pronounce it, but then it's fun to say!) today on my way to the LBS. The owner loves it and gracefully obliged me as I took photos and asked him a million questions. He said he was messing with some dice in the chainring just for fun and one got stuck. Nice! How about that paint job? Personalyl, I love Italian bikes more than any others. They're just so beautiful. And, this one just reeks with style. Everything fits like a glove. It's lightweight, fast, and a conglomerate of several different brands of components. You don't have to keep your bike stock if you don't want to. It's not a sin. Of course, if you want your bike to be a "collector's item", all original components makes a difference. But, why not make it just what you want? That's what this artisan bike dude did. Check out the set I posted on Flickr: http://bit.ly/uaC2Y4
