A good friend of mine was in Italy on vacation in the early '80's & brought back a nice, white with black lettered wool jersey with the embroidered letters "G.B.C." I have always wondered what the letters stood for. Guido's Bicycle Club? If there was a team & someone has info about it (them), I would love to hear more. Thanks, Richard Rose (Toledo, Ohio)
