The thing I like best about Gios's is that they (usually) come in only one color, like Bianchi used to be known for. What is you Gios like? How do you have it set up?
Thanks,

i forget what mine is called - i'll look when i get home. it is a compact pro - maybe "evolution".
i know that the tubing is nickel vanadium chromium. not lugged like yours.
just checked their site and they dont make it anymore but i built it up about 95/96 with campy record and chorus (8 speed).
i forgot about the adjustable dropout plate. do you reckon there is enough adjustment? maybe just have to run a tensioner or get an eccentric hub.
while i respaced my mountain bike to convert from 135 to 120, i am very much disinclined to respace my gios. what hub did you use?
colour: someone tried to sell me a red one. well i am not _that_ crazy. go you blue boys!
