Gios identification
 

I picked up this Gios frame with assorted components while working at the local co-op today and know almost nothing about it. Thankfully I have gawked at enough craigslist postings and other forum members' bikes to know a nice bike when I see one, so this one went home with me. Which in and of itself was interesting - me, with most of a bike strapped to my back with old inner tubes, riding through festival traffic for 3 miles. I like 'em British, not Italian, so aside from knowing relative quality, I have to admit I don't know model or year or even the level of Campy components that are on this bike. No stickers, just a headbadge, and no serial number that I can find (just 'Gios' stamped under the bottom bracket shell). Hopefully some of you can help me figure out what it is that I have.

Components:
Campy -
Headset
Nutted side-pull brakes
Cranks
Bottom Bracket
Rear dropouts (front unmarked)

Suntour superbe -
Shifters
Derailers
Rear hub
Freewheel
Quick release

Well, what you have there is a resprayed Gios Super Record from the late 70s I´d say, those were built with Columbus SL tubing. The Campagnolo stuff is Record/Nuovo Record.

Ding, +1.

Thanks. Now I have to just figure out what I want to do with it. It's 3 inches too small for me, so I might save the components and pass the frame along.

No older than 1978.
