Hello List,

I just purchased a fully-pantographed Guerciotti, circa 1983, that appears to be all-original and in mint condition.  The brake levers do not have the characteristic "G"/Star motif like the other panto bits on the bike.  The levers instead are engraved with a stylized bicycle rider above red, white and blue lines:

The bike seems unmolested and original, in every other way.  The brake calipers are also engraved with red, white, and blue lines. Could these have been original?
