Guerciotti
Redefining the Speed of Light

In a small frameshop outside of Milan, Italy, Guerciotti S.P.A. builds bicycles that unify function and workmanship as never before. To the last detail, every Guerciotti caresses the eye and challenges the spirit, using the most advanced frame geometry and equipment technology available. Ten Speed Drive Imports further ensures the precision of these bicycles by hand preparing every frame to your exact specifications, guarantying that the inherent speed and response of each machine be made available to the cyclist.

Using Italian components exclusively, every Guerciotti is a racing thoroughbred, made from Columbus tubing, including the new SLX super butted tubing, joined by short point investment cast conjunctions at the bottom bracket, fork crown and lugset. The components are selected from combinations of Campagnolo (this year introducing the Triómphe and Victory groups), Cinelli, Regina and Concor products, each renowned for their quality and response. Ten Speed Drive Imports custom builds every wheel using Ambrosio rims with Alpina 18/10 spokes, and either Vittoria or Clement tires.

Suggested retail prices are subject to change and do not include shipping and final assembly.

QUALITY CONTROL

Ten Speed Drive Imports guarantees that the world’s finest bicycles receive precision machining and assembly

To release the true potential of these quality components, Ten Speed Drive Imports has developed a quality-control preparation system that insures precision set-ups. Every bicycle frame we sell must pass exacting standards in milling, bearing alignment and surface wear.

After each thread is cleared of brass, paint, and flux the shifter, water-bottle and gear hanger braze-ons are prepared. Then, using Campagnolo tools exclusively, the bottom bracket shell, head tube and crown race seat are all milled flat and perpendicular to the rotation of the axle or fork. This results in exact bearing alignment and produces minimal surface wear.

As the frame is the heart of the bicycle, the bottom bracket shell is the heart of the frame. It is from this point that all other references be made, and they must be exact. Ten Speed Drive Imports utilizes a Marchetti-Lange frame alignment table, which verifies alignment tolerances of .001mm using the machined surfaces of the frame.

As each tube is checked and aligned, it is then permanently “set” in position relative to the bottom bracket shell. This setting of the frame eliminates any distortion or flexing that may have occurred during brazing and cooling.

We also use a Marchetti-Lange fork plate to align the fork to within the same exacting tolerances. Such minute adjustments may seem superfluous, yet they become immediately noticeable in the precision balance and response of the bicycle when in motion.
