[Gualdrapo]

From the Prodigiosa (part of Gios which still makes steel bikes following their philosophy from the 70s-80s bicycles) website[0]:

> - The true quality of a frame is felt in the descents - In a racing bicycle, half a degree in the construction of the frame is more important than half a kilo in its weight - 20 grams on the wheels are more important than 500 grams on the frame - The tubes of a frame are like the ingredients of a dish. All are important but the taste depends on the skill of the chef - A racing bicycle must be made to measure - The bicycle is the heritage of Italian Culture, and we must preserve it - A steel frame is like a gold coin. It keeps it's value as the years pass by - The frame is the heart of the bicycle, and the groupset merely the clothes it puts on
