I always enjoy riding my Gios bikes. my Super Record "feels" fast every time i ride it. perhaps it is the quicker steering, or more forward seating. whatever it is i like it. however, i also have an Aerodynmic and it rides very different. i think it rides more like how Charles describes his "preferred" feeling. it feels more layed back and stable, as if it has a lower bb(though when i measured the bb height on both bikes, they were the same) that also feels good to ride. I used to have a Professional and it felt a lot like the SR. I only wish I had a pre-78 SR to compare.

you can also find my pics on wooljersey of my latest restore. http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/moschika/Gios+SR/
