Paolo Guerciotti is one of the legendary Italian brands.
Whilst searching for a lugged track frame to be made out of Italian steel we have been been fortunate enough to secure an extremely limited supply of classic Guerciotti PISTA framesets.
The company was founded in 1964 outside Milan, Italy, by brothers and former cyclocross racers, Paolo and Italo Guerciotti, with advice and assistance from Cino Cinelli.
Handbuilt from Columbus Neuron using zone and elliptical butting to produce a lightweight, yet very stiff frame.
Neuron tubing is one of the tubesets in the Columbus Nivacrom steel family.
It gets its strength not from heat-treatment, but from special composition. Niobium and vanadium are alloyed with the other elements to produce a high strength and dependable steel.
