Marque: Lino Tempesta, Sesto San Giovanni, Milano, Italy.
Uncle of Paolo and Italo Guerciotti.
From the Guerciotti section of The Custom Bicycle
, Michael J. Kolin and Denise M. de la Rosa. Emmaus, Pennsylvania : Rodale Press, 1979.
In 1965 the Guerciottis started building their frames as a full-time business.
They hired their uncle Lino Tempesta, an experienced builder, to provide additional guidance.
Lino had been building frames for Bianchi in Bergamo for 15 years. He knew how to "use a torch" and he
was a superb artisan. ... Paolo, Italo, and Uncle Lino did all the frame building ... By 1972 the demand for Guerciotti bicycles had grown ... Paolo and Italo ... were unable to build
the frames themselves. However, Guerciotti frames are still being built by Uncle Lino. Lino supervises the three
frame builders who are now working for the Guerciotti firm...
