Richard Sachs mentioned (see Archives for Tempesta) that Lino Tempesta made the early Guerciotti frames. My records show that Guerciotti started as a business in 1962. Since George Mount's bike was made before the 1976 Olympics, is it possible that Lino Tempesta actually made it? Would that make a difference? Did the Guerciotti brothers actually build frames themselves? Of course, since I own the only Tempesta that I've ever seen or heard of, I do have a personal interest. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
