Embracing the worst years of the steel bike, tigged joints and unicrown forks, seems like a non starter to me.

It's funny becuase Gios for the last ten years or so actually had the most traditional modern models in their catalog. The Compact Pro is a true classic and was available in a very original form. Their aluminum race frames featured round tubes, traditional geometry, and really classic paint and graphics. The only problem was getting one.

Now that they seem like they are going to address the distribution issue their whole lineup looks like crap. Pretty sad really.
