I don't get it, I thought maybe you were Jerry but was confused because you signed "k".

I may end up selling both bikes in the early Spring. I may end up keeping all of them, if I can afford to.
I'm still learning at this, but I can tell a distinct difference between all the bikes I own. The De Rosa is, by far, my favorite. The Rossin appeals to me in a different way, it seems very solid. The Guerciotti seems more like a 'go fast' bike, not all that dissimilar to my Cinelli. I'm looking forward to restoring my Merckx in the Spring, and hope it is more like the De Rosa. I'm also going to look at a Mondonico Monday, but with modern components.
I think I may be a junkie.

No, I have a C-record on the Mondonico, and a Chorus on the Woodrup, and both sets of pedals just told me I'd have a big problem on the road if I even thought about moving them, poor dears!
It's terrible when your bike parts get to have mind of their own!
that's all the Campy I got - well not counting the Superleggeras on the Masi.

The Guerciotti is actually a decent ride, very quick handling. In spite of having an 80's paint job, the colors go well in AZ. The chrome fork and chrome stays are a nice touch. The Modolo levers are more comfortable than Campagnolo, and the Supurbe Pro brakes work remarkably well.

Road Fan, you are much too kind.
My bikes are all riders, but I try to take pictures when they are polished and hopefully have clean bar tape.
You have a pretty darn nice collection yourself, Im sure the folks here would love to see some pictures of your stable.
PS---Did you see Matt's Colnago? It's your size
