Look for the serial number on the bottom bracket. Neat bikes, I used to own one. Paging jamesdak!

Hmm... seen one of those before somewhere. I take it this is one of the titanium models so not going to be one of the steel Billato built ones I'm familar with.
Best info I have saved in my files is just a price list that may be showing this model also.

Try hitting up Nelson Frazier at Gita. Gita created and distributed the Giordana bikes as a cheaper in house alternative to the other high end brands they were importing. Nelson is the sales guy there with a long history on the bikes, great guy!

Oh and if you do sell it don't be let down if it's hard to sell for much money. Most folks don't know the brand nor realize how well they are made. Much less how great they feel on the road.
I've had several on them and still have two. I still consider my one XL Super to be my best feeling bike out on the road. Better than my De Rosa, my Pinarello, my David Kirk built custom, my Paletti, my Davidson, etc. Those are all great bikes for sure but that Giordana was sprinkled with pixie dust or something by the biking gods when it was made. It's magical feeling under me out on the roads.
