Guerra Frame
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Guerra frames? The one I'm looking at has Columbus SLX tubing(?), Cinelli BB. It's an Italian frame and built in Lugo (I think) since it's painted on the headtube.
If you know anything about this builder, or what the frame might be worth, I'd love to know.

Learco Guerra was a Italian racer from the 30s, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learco_Guerra
They started making frames with his name in the late 30s and into the at least the 60s. Not a huge demand in the US as in Italy. Pictures would be helpful to access quality.

It's an ebay listing. Sorry I didn't include it from the start. It seems that this frame was built after the 60s...with the cable routing under the bottom bracket. However, the "G" is still engraved in on the fork crown and the seat stays. Chromed stays too. Does this help with anything? Supposedly it's a 1982.
