1986 to 1988 (as far as I can tell) FAKE Gios Torino. After sending images to the Gios historic registry, they have set me straight. The lugs are not correct, the fork is almost right, the bike is just a copy. I bought it for next to nothing, so no biggie. I just wonder who built it? It rides like a dream! Recently, I repainted the bike hydrographically, on top of the existing decals, scratches, and patina so it would meld well with the years of use. Looking to build it up with a new Ultegra group soon...

Very sweet frame! And the red cables are a nice touch. If I were you I'd stick with the 42/52, and try to find a nice front mech to finish it off.

That is quite extraordinary. As someone who owned a Gios, I can spot the differences. The logo on seatstay is correct but the shape is wrong. The fork has a correct logo as well, but beneath it on the fork crown there should be 2 lines instead of a triangle. And lugs should be solid without any holes. But the frame overall very much feels like Gios.
