RECENTLY OVERHEARD:
GREG: “That bike looks tough as nails. It looks like a OG Vanilla CX on roids, you can tell it has double oversized tubes, it just demands a presence.”
SACHA: “Before I moved out to Portland, I was looking for a messenger bike to work on. I found a Guerciotti in a shop. It was before any CX was in major production. It had a flat fork crown, horizontal top tube, and double panel paint scheme – still looked like a classic, proper race bike bit with little nobby tires. It looked soooo mean.
