I have a Compact Pro with sliding rear dropouts and tig welded. I’ve dated it as a 1995 but don’t recall how I came to that conclusion. It is made with Gios branded Deda tubeset. It’s a very nice riding bike, definitely a racer.

Edit: I just checked out the above link and someone got a good deal. Looks like a nice frame, my guess is early 90’s. As an aside, one of the nice things about steel frames is, generally, not all that hard to tell from pics when a frame is good quality so even if someone decides to throw an Italian race bike stickers on it, it’s still good. In this case I’d bet it’s a legit Gios.
