I too, have a compact pro, which I ordered from Excel Sports 10 or so years ago. I've put many a mile on it in the last decade, but it remains equipped just as I ordered it, with Campy Record 9 speed, and the old Mavic helium wheels. I love the supple ride and quick handling; of all the bikes which have come into my hands over the last several years, the Gios is the only one which I have held on to. I even went to the trouble of boxing it up and flying it with me when I moved to Japan.
