I'm a longtime C.R. lurker who enjoys reading
the occasional hubbub that occurs on the list.
I'm also a happy owner of one of the recent Gios
replicas. It's built up with period S.R. components
& rides very nicely. Don't know if it's a Walter
Mitty thing or not, but I enjoy riding this fake,
& don't worry about getting it dirty or dinged.
Don't even care if it's worth more or less than
a mint original. I got it pretty much for the reason
I got the rest of my bikes. There was just something
that clicked when I saw it, & I was able to get it
without disrupting the family budget.
Looking forward to the next project than calls
out to me.
