New Build: Gios Torino Super Record

Finished this one just today - a pretty nice 1982-ish Gios Super Record. This is the model with the coins in the fork crown, and I think it's the final iteration of that model, with the only difference being recessed brake mounting, which this one has.

This one was in pretty good shape to begin with, but it did have some interesting parts, including Universal CX calipers (let me know if anyone is interested in these, I will sell them) with Super Record levers (I am pretty certain these have the original gum hoods, there are a few splits), an OMAS crank and rings, and some odd clinchers. The paint is original as are the down tube and seat tube decals, but the top tube decal had to be replaced. Thanks to a fellow C&V member I acquired a nice set of Fiamme Ergals, so I build some wheels (thanks Simon!) A few nicks here and there but no dents, hoping to get it out there today for a ride, weather permitting!



Done!

Original hoods, I think...

Paint is in great shape...

It came with a cool OMAS crank, but I put a Super Record on it, just to be consistent with the model name...

Original down tube decal, but replaced top tube decal...

Coins!

Original SR RD...

Original SR FD...

Built some new wheels for it, using some Ergals I got from a C&V member (thanks Simon!)

Nice paint
