I think (at least the only ones I've seen) the model they are addressing here is the Professional. And they are very obvious counterfeits. The work is shoddy, and the seat-stay attachment and BB shell is completely different than a real Gios.

I'm not positive but I am pretty sure the CP models with the adjustable drop-outs were not affected.
