Brian;
Do other Gios frames of that time frame have serial numbers? I guess you are aware that Colnagos had no serial #s for a long time... Who knows??? :)

"So, I guess my question is,did anyone actually ever see a counterfeit Gios Torino?"
I think I have one, it's a white GIOS Torino Professional with blue panels and GT pantographed on the seatpost and big chainring, but it has no serial number on the bottom bracket shell or anywhere else on the frame, so I have always believed it to be a fake, a good fake mind you, but a fake nevertheless.
