That Guerciotti is beautiful. I agree the Kona's paint is a little garrish, as is its use of chrome on the lugs; however, the craftsmanship is really, really nice. I saw one in person at Sweet Pete's, and the only thing which obviously blows on that bike is the crank. Too bad its $2500 bucks. For that kind of cash, you're better off trolling CL and eBay for some early 90s steel roadies and then throwing a modern group on them.
