Following is a link to a few photos of my new Guerciotti that I just bought tonight. The guy I bought it from was the original owner but couldn't remember how long it had been since he originally bought it. He says, minimum 15 years, but I think its longer than that. He said that it was pretty much top of the line when he bought it.

The original owner spends the majority of the year in Europe (last 8 years) and only spends about 5 weeks a year here in San Diego. Consequently, the bike sat in storage for most of the time. The condo he lives in is directly adjacent to the beach and the storage area didn't have adequate door seals so corrosion started to do it's dirty work. I think it looks worse than it actually is, as the rust rubs off very easily with hand pressure alone. Definitely needs to be repainted.

I would appreciate any help in identifying it. It has full campy Nuevo Record and is a 14-speed. It has Cinelli Stem and Bars (Campeone Del Mundo). It is dark blue with yellow highlights. Bottom bracket looks to have a stylized "G" cut-out. I'll take more photos during the light of day after I take off the aero bars and the gel seat pad!

Thanks,
