Thank you! I think, based on what you said, I may hold for a little bit while I build it up. Once it gets back from the platers I'll put some nice HED Ardennes that I have collecting dust, see how it...

That's helpful to know - I have riden the GP4000s and in fact need to get some new ones for the Colnago EP that is my road bike - I haven't tried the 4000 version II or the newer 5000s. I agree with...

It's not squashed in any way but that was really an interesting read - and I am coming to believe a few things - this bike was likely chromed after it left the factory (possibly at the factory but...

I've had a headset installed otherwise I would have run upstairs to check! But I have to agree with you - I'm starting to believe it was perhaps a custom order Treviso or one-off. Would be pretty...

Beautiful and rare color! My Guerciotti was painted by the importer, 10 Speed Drive in the US (which I am thankful for to this day). They used Dupont Imron and it still looks the part!

You're exactly correct - I've bounced around those same models and found all to be fairly similar but different. At one point I thought Record was the closest so when I bought decals I actually...

Completely agree - the chainstay bridge is actually the most "unfinished" looking part on this bike - it doesn't have the typical lugwork that've seen (and I've never seen a Montello with a chainstay...
