Is this a Gios?
Hi all. New to the forum and new to cycling. Currently only commute to and from work on a Trek Soho but keen to get into riding with my brother on the weekends on a classic steel ride. Hence this post. Looking at a bike on eBay which says its a Gios Torino Super Record but reading up on these awesome bikes I'm growing more and more sceptical on the authenticity of this one. Apart from not having any Campy Record gear on it, the forks don't look like any I've seen on the net (I do like the Wolber sticker though!). That said, the bike appears to be an early model and has potentially had the original parts replaced by these parts. So, if anyone out there can give me some idea of whether this is the genuine article or not I'd really appreciate it. I've posted all of the pics from the add and have tried contacting the seller for more pics (particularly of under the bottom bracket) but have not received anything as yet. I know this one needs a bucket load of work but am happy to fix it up over time if its the real deal.
