Nice! Though I'm a cream of tomato man myself.

Very, very cool bike! 8)

You must be proper chuffed with that.

Elio

Always nice to see another Guerciotti
Great looking bike, very stylish! To keep with the theme, I prefer my tomato soup without cream. Just a dash of olive oil and some fresh basil will do

Matt the Tester

super sweeeet bike!

Thanks am very pleased with it so far (i.e. the looking at it bit). Can't wait to try it out - maybe we'll get a cold clear dry day soon and I'll be able to give it a ride.

I had a steel (Columbus SL) Guerciotti in the late 80s, so when these frames went on offer I couldn't resist. Cutting the ISP was a scary moment even after measuring it 20 times in half a dozen different ways.

Wish there were (practical) Italian deep clinchers I could have used instead, but the Cosmics will suit my riding.

Gaaah it's SO UNFAIR! I love that frame in the Guerciotti colours. Fabulous choice. I even secretly covet the Guerciotti team top in all its over-sponsored glory (ironically my current racing kit is ninja black)

It certainly is. I couldn't find any pineapple chunks.

Hi, It's a medium, I briefly thought I might chance a small, but just went for the usual in the end.

lovely bike, goes well with the kitchen units

joking apart - very nice smart bike, obviously gonna turn a few heads when you eventually get it on the road, can't say i envy the time you will spend cleaning it, altho should be a labour of love.

Thanks. Hmmm my size! How tall are you?
Now I have yet another frame on the short list as potential new bike! Am never gonna be able to choose :evil:

fleshtuxedo

5'10" with 32" inside leg and 'normal' proportions. I got mine (frame) from Planet X where they're just about all gone, mind.

brakelever

what a stunning looking bike , saw something very close in assolo in italy this year , thought that looked good - but yours takes the biscuit

That is a very nice bike! I was going to go for the Ribble Scuro but didn't fancy having to chop the ISP for my first bike build so got the Gran Fondo instead (posted on here just yesterday)

I think I'll be having one of these when it comes to upgrade/bored of my current bike time, which will probably be this summer!

fleshtuxedo

Richa, probably a wise move on the ISP - you need a very settled position as there's only a tiny bit of adjustment on these (in theory it's 12mm, but I wouldn't want to go anywhere near that looking at how it goes together).

It's Blingtastic, nice one
