Guerciotti frames

Does any have info on their track frames. I was wondering what tubing the used on their track frames in the early 80s. Any info you could give me would be great. What would a frame in good condition fetch on the open market these days ?

Thanks,
Gregg

Many track frames of that era used SLX tubing because on the stiffness. Just a guess.

I saw one on ebay a few months ago that went for a little over 500. I pretty sure it was from that era. Im not sure what type of columbus tubing it had.

I def visit fyxomatosis, but that one must have slipped by me or just not registered.

Either way, that is a beautiful bike.

Seatpost, BB, Cranks, Chainring are all ready for it. Need some bolts for the chainring, as well as a headset and fork...

Wheelset might help too....

Beautiful bikes. If money was no concern I'd pick one of these framesets over anything.

gregg-o - are you actually waffling over the decision? Get on that thing! Unless you have so much vintage Italian track steel that another one will just be a pain...

I don't know the user name, metallo pleasante....??? AKA Carson. He had a fantastic blue Guerciotti frame. I believe the seat tube was 64cm. I couldn't even ride it if I sat on the top tube and he still had the seat at a decent height. That bike fell out off of a car I think while he was moving and got ran over.
