Well, I did have the opportunity to handle, straddle, fondle and glom on the Gios at our Friday night beer nights. Might have spilled some of my Boddingtons on the top tube as well so I guess the value is down to two grand. Despite that, if you're a Gios fan, this is a clean bike.

I really felt kind of bad so I wrote a testimonial for Steve's website.
