hi, the team gios appears to me to be an early time trial machine although they were surely used for all type event...slick vertical drop out,nice touch....cable to rear brake hidden in the top tube...i wonder if the rear cable route is stopped at entry and exit to minimize cable compression...hmmm. the fork lug appears to be a cinelli slopeing crown (type) w/ minimal rake...wonder what it'll go for? charlie flaherty in baltimore maryland
