Iconic mid 80's race bike from the legendary Italian bike manufacturer Gios, made famous in the 1970s by the Brooklyn Chewing Gum team. This bike, built with a nearly complete Campagnolo Super Record group, has been well-cared for, but ridden. Many minor paint chips and scratches, yet still a very handsome "rider". Derailleurs, chain rings and cranks are very clean and show little mileage.

 

We completely stripped, rebuilt and tuned with many new parts and it's a very nice riding bike. Would not hesitate to take to L'Eroica! Frame is straight and true. Internal rear brake cable routing though missing the rear plastic bushing. Cast bottom bracket housing. Recessed brake nuts. Campagnolo drilled rear drop-outs. Gios engraving on fork crown and seat stay caps. Frame has some paint losses with the most noticeable being behind the chain ring on chainstay, underside of fork and on the inside of the fork at drop-out.
