Guerciotti Bikes? Opinion Required?

[A-Style]

Hi there,

I'm wondering if someone out there can help me out.

I'm thinking about spending a considerable amount of money on a new road bike.

Up until this point I have done a considerable amount of research however my heart is set on an Italian frame with Campy groupset (most likely SR).

Admittedly, as much as I would love Colnago C59 Italia with SR I just think it'll be out of my price range.

So going in and having a look at frames on offer at a bike dealer in the Docklands area here in Melbourne they pushed me towards the Guerciotti range of bikes notably the Eclipse Plus model in that line.

Admittedly I have tried to do some research on the bike and apart from one rather favorable review on one site (although this bike had EPS which I wouldn't get) I haven't been able to find any other opinions so I'm wondering if anyone else knows about them.

Again and not trying to question the integrity of bike dealers out there but they all biased towards the frames they stock and I find it hard at times to differentiate the "sales pitch" from real opinions. I have no doubts at that price that almost any bike will be good but am definitely curious to know what others think!

Thanks

Planet Bikes/On-One Bikes in the UK seem to sell a heap of them...reasonable pricing too. Not sure what that says about quality but...

Bump!

Anyone else with opinions they'd like to share!

Thanks

Go the Nago over a Guerciotti. They are an OEM frame with name brand component fitted to them.
