Guerciotti frame and fork
I couldn't find pictures of a matching frame online like this one. The number 1 is stamped on the bottom of the frame but I really do not see any other numbers or markings. Could someone give me some more information about this frame or let me know if its worth anything. Thanks
Frame logo says Guerciotti
Tube says Columbus
Sticker of Pablo Guerciotti name but not sure what model

Cantilever brakes were generally used on touring and cyclocross bikes. Your frame seems to have racing geometry and no provisions for racks or fenders, so I think it's a cyclocross racer. Also, Guerciotti was known for building racing bikes. It's a high-end brand.

It has some value...I'm not entirely confident in giving a number. Not a fan of the brand for the most part...at least the 80s export stuff, but I think this is a bit cooler because you just don't see that many cyclocross bikes that were built for cyclocross from the pre-aughts. The bike looks mid-90s to me. Thron was a heavier columbus tubing, probably good for the application.
I'd hazard a range, given condition, of maybe $200ish? Don't put much stock in that...I'm really sort of guessing. It's a cool frame, but it's clearly a well marked warrior too.

I would also say a 90's cyclcross racer it has canti's and real short wheelbase so some what limited in applications. As for value I would put it at $175-225 as presented the no so great paint with some bare spots will hold value down a bit.

Concur with the others as to rough value. The fact that it is a cross bike helps the value a bit, the fact that it is made of thron tubing hurts a bit as does the condition. The BB tends to be higher on cross bikes which you will need to take into account in figuring whether it fits you or not.

This is a Guerciotti cyclocross frame.The presence of Thron puts it no older than 1994. Later, the cyclocross model was called the Comete but I'm not sure about this era. I've seen these sell for $350 in excellent condition. I'd value this one around 1/2 that.

You should pull the Chris King headset, unless you want to give it away.
If you have all the parts and it's in good shape, it's worth $60-100.
