Gios found on Belgian 2nd hand site €700
Hey,
I found this bike advertised as a Gios Super Record for €700 (about $900, I think).
Would you advise for or against thinking about buying it? Seems a bit steep to me,
looking at the condition. And there are a few things that don't seem to me to fit for a Super Record.

The guy places a lot of ads on this site, and seems to pass a lot of collectible bikes and
frames through his hands.
Any thoughts or advice? Would you even consider it?
John

If it had Campagnolo throughout, it would be a deal. This is a later one with the Aero shaped fork blades, not that appealing to me.
Northern European bikes often get put away wet, so this would be a deal where I would want some assurance that it is not suffering from rust. Under the Bottom bracket, will the seat post come out...

Thanks for the replies, gents.
Mathieu - I think the second of those is the same guy. He's selling the €200 fake Gios on both sites too. And you can buy some ducks from him.
