That was the black '92 Guerciotti EL. Mind you, I've owned/own 5 of these things in total. Sold off the tall ones, and got royally fed up with the oddities of the blue '78 (which included sloppy framebuilding and a paint job that made powdercoat look thin), which led me to sell it. I kept this one, and I still have the wrecked EL.

Ironically enough, this '83 has the best quality lugwork and brazing of all the frames I own presently (not necessarily in excellent condition, but top craftsmanship nevertheless). Superior comes in second-best, followed by the chrome Paramount. The EL is right up there with these too, but I don't count it ever since it was rendered unusable. The rest of the fleet are unspectacular in comparison (the fake Rossin isn't bad though). Then again, I must admit that Windsor's relatively cheap Super Carrera has some unusually nicely fit dropouts.
