Happy Friday Everyone:
I am in the process of putting a 70's Gios back to original, or as close
to as current time and budget will allow and I need some help on dating
the frame please!
The bike was an ebay auction with a couple of fuzzy pictures with a 9
speed veloce groupo.
When it arrived it had a early 2 bolt Gios panto seatpost, two logo
cinelli crit bars and had obviously been repainted. Only numbers under
the BB is a '57'. The chrome fork has the 'GT' panto on the crown and it
has four 'clover' type cut-outs under the bottom-bracket.
I recently saw a Super Record with the 'GT' cut-out under the BB and the
same fork and owner said it was a 1975.
Anyone have any knowledge on the early pre 'Coin' Gios bottom bracket
configurations and a timeline?
BTW the seatpost is listed on Ebay as it was too short for my femurs,
item # 330042603922
I am just starting a Wool Jersey album and a few pictures of the bike
are up (but still not complete)
