Thirtyfive years of successes. This is the business and sporting history of italian company Guerciotti.
A fascinating history started in 1964, when Italo, known and expert cyclocross rider, decided to open a little bicycle shop with his brother, Paolo. If was Italo to give the bike passion to Paolo, who started in 1961 to ride in young cathegories, showing himself immediately very competitive and winner and than to ride exsclusevily in cyclocross and to ride the world championship in 1979 in Saccolongo.

In that time the shop became too small for the numerouses customers. Than, it decided for the amplification of the head office and for the moving in Corso Buenos Aires. In 1975, thanks for the commercial success always in growing, Guerciotti’s brothers extended again their seat, moving in Via Tamagno. And the 1975 was a historical year for Guerciotti company. In fact besides to improve the costruction of racing bicycles, thanks at the dinamism of Paolo Guerciotti, there was a great commercial escalation, starting to export his products, especially in USA, building the american team Ten Speed Drive.Guerciotti.
