The stylized rider is on my non-pantographed 1983 Guerciotti as well. It is located on the frame -- on top of the rear brake brace. My bike was purchased new as a build kit (which I built) and then I raced it in Texas , Oklahoma , Louisiana and Arkansas during 1983. Fabulous ride. Your picture of the frame is a little fuzzy but it appears to be a burgundy color -- same as mine.

Enjoying a warm gorgeous day -- working on bicycles -- Life is good.

Hello List, I just purchased a fully-pantographed Guerciotti, circa 1983, that appears to be ll-original and in mint condition. The brake levers do not have the haracteristic "G"/Star motif like the other panto bits on the bike. he levers instead are engraved with a stylized bicycle rider above red, white nd blue lines: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Jeff+Pyzyk/lever/brake_20lever1_1_.jpg.html The bike seems unmolested and original, in every other way. The brake calipers re also engraved with red, white, and blue lines. Could these have been riginal?
