I've acquired what appears at face value to be a late 80's Gios frame (61cm
c-t)- see http://freespace.virgin.net/
- It's bright red, not Brooklyn blue.
- It's perhaps short of the Gios-Torino top tube panel.
- There is no Columbus decal (I don't know that it is Columbus tubing).
- The head tube decal has been placed over the already drilled head tube.
- (perhaps) worst of all, the fork steerer is stamped "Taiwan" - these day's yes, but in the late 80's - a repair replacement ?
Opinions or comment sought ! on this otherwise lovely looking frame - I know it's 4 years past the CR list remit of 85' but it does have classic looks......oh and it's steel and it has lugs !
Does anyone have a Gios catalog from the late 80's or any idea what model this is / was ?
