Gios Ridden at Worlds

A Brazilian rider was riding a Gios funny bile in the TT today at the Worlds. I didn't realize Gios was still making bicycles...Do they offer a steel, lugged bike?

From Italian Cycling Journal (in the comments):
GIOS was wrapped in a costly legal battle with one, for privacy reasons undisclosed, wealthy, Belgian dealer. A suit was involved which the Belgian won and the result was that GIOS could be in jeopardy.

The case was very expensive for GIOS so much so that it affected the liquidity of the small company.

The solution proved to be to liquidate the old GIOS. For the the Belgian party there was nothing left to achieve and no further damage could be caused to GIOS. The new GIOS is not a contracting party of the Belgians.

Then the new GIOS established a company in two parts run by Alfredo and his brother Aldo. Alfredo focuses his Japanese-made range from Biciclette GIOS aimed and touring and city bikes. Marco and Aldo run the new racing bike through News - Biciclette Gios - Le originali Made in Italy for race-oriented riders.
