My brother wandered into Guerciotti's shop one day and asked for a bicycle.
I don't remember the exact details, but I don't think he had any trouble
getting it.  The bike he wound up with is a classically beautiful machine,
much nicer than the Guerciottis I've seen brought in by importers.  The
source of the difference between his experience and yours is probably that
this happened ca. 1973, before Guerciotti was "discovered" in this country.
Whenever a small builder becomes a fad and demand skyrockets, you can expect
very long delivery times and associated problems.
