The Guerciotti has developed a few noises: creaking from the bar/stem when I'm pulling on them hard, clicking when I stand up sprinting or climbing and intermittent clicking from the rear wheel even when I'm freewheeling.
SinceI didn't build the bike I'm guessing it needs a good service (it an ex-display) so planning to take it apart and re-grease and tighten everything. The bar and stem are straight forward, and the intermittent click for the rear is probably spokes. However the rotational clicking isn't the pedals as it has done it with 3 sets, greasing and tightening the chainring bolts won't be a problem, but the Athena crankset and BB has got me scratching my head: external BB cups and 2 piece crank, but I can't work out how to remove the cranks. I'n guessing I'm going to need a variety of compatible tools, might be cheaper to chuck it at the LBS
