How do you get a hold of a specific bike? :c
 
If you can't find a dealer in your country, what options do you have? Will I have to book a trip to Italy and ride it home?

Saw a guy riding in the snow with a "gios torino" today, never saw the brand before.. Their bikes look jawdroppingly good though, every single one of them :twitchy:

Looks like a great courier bike.

Find and ring up a GIOS dealer to see if they can ship you one.
Seeing it's not a specialized, it's likely to just fall on the whims of the dealer provided you pay for shipping.

looks like the guerciotti scratch. prolly made in china too.

Just buy a Dodici Gara. It's most likely a nicer frame and is actually hand-made in Italy.

From the bottom of the GIOS Torino Pista page:

In Italian


Le Biciclette Gios Made in Italy sono disponibili esclusivamente nello showroom di Volpiano-Torino-Italia.

In English


Bicycles Gios Made in Italy are only available in the showroom of Volpiano-Turin-Italy.
So, apparently, YES, you have to fly to Italy and ride it home.

doesn't that mean bikes are made in china unless purchased from the showroom?

Gios' heyday ended like 20-25 years ago with a big lawsuit. Gios is just a fancy decal trying to live off of old-school name recognition. The consumer level bikes are not made in Italy.
