Gaulzettis Are Still A Thing?

First the Jerk, then not the Jerk, and now the Jerk again?  Um, okay.  The twits are bemused.  But for once I think they have a point.  Gaulzettis were over a long time ago, and I'm not sure anyone cares anymore.  The kool kidz are probably stoked, but...yeah.

I think changing the model names is a really bad idea; Corsa is a perfectly good, obvious name.  Changing it sounds like you are full of shit.  Go with Corsa, paint it in a single color, and you have something resembling class.  New fonts, new names, it's all nonsense.  That peak, such as it was, was a lifetime ago for Gaulzetti.  Five years is forever in the boutique bike biz, and if Gaulzetti was ever going to make a splash beyond a few sycophants and overprivileged idiots, he woulda done it by now.

At this point, why not just call up Frank The Welder and say you want a hot aluminium road racing bike and then get just what you want!
