Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You're crazy. Sram doesn't go with the Guerch at all!

SRAM goes with anything better than Shimano, especially the older shimano. Newer shimano (7900, 6700, etc.) or Campy can sometimes look nicer than SRAM.

I added it, wasn't really digging the components it came with and I can't afford to spend too much money at one time on a bike

I guess I need to go find myself a garage tomorrow. and before I get too much grief, it is a masi fixed gear, but in the fore ground there is a 105 specialized allez comp, that I am debating a set of open pro wheels for.

sram is better, but ultegra might better fit a taiwanese guerciotti.

Welcome to the club
I'm sure Mitch knows where his frame was manufactured. He's been around bikes a little longer than you and I.

PS: No one wants to be in a club with someone who massacres road frames.

Google fellas - they don't make all their frames it's not economically feasible. I guess they could make this aluminum frame in house but why? They do buy carbon frames and sell them as there own. Is painting a frame enough to claim it's made in house?

having an english bottom bracket while the rest of the line doesnt is odd.

https://forums.roadbikereview.com/sho...d.php?t=158058

in whatever factory across the globe, theres no questions that guericotti didnt make that frame, but if this is the first time the rule that a frame with a website url on it must be made in taiwan has failed me, that aluminum apparently tigged together by well rested italians still ought to have sram.

Interesting. I have read in several different places that Dedacciai frames and tubing come from Taiwan, it didn't stop me from buying a Dedacciai carbon fork to try this morning though.

I don't give a crap where it's made but I would be willing to bet that unlike a lot of the bikes in this thread you ride this one like it was intended. Great looking bike Mitch, it's nice to see something different from time to time.

I think I've posted this previously, but there have been a number of changes. Most recently the wheels. The only original parts are the frame and the brakes.
