Gios A70
Hi,
last sunday i bought a Gios A70 Frame with a 1" threadless carbon fork, a stronlight headset and a specialized carbon seatpost for 60,- Euros at the flea market from an old italian man.
Size 53 c/c, HT 45 c/c. Perfect for my girlfriend.
But i couldn't find any information about the A70 in the Net. It's an Alloy-Frame and the DT is a bit oversized an lightly oval. Is it also made from Dedaccai Tubes like the A90? And from which year is it?
BR, Sven

Brilliant deal for 60 Euros! The fork alone has got to be worth that. No info, sorry.

Actually a quick Google search reveals that the Gios Compact A70 Ultralite is built from Special tubing aluminium 7020. Sounds like a specially heat treated thin walled aluminium - any one know any more about this?
