Identification of frame
Hello there experts,
There is a frame that has popped up with some decent Campy componentry which I am thinking about buying.
Only logos I can see are;
the letter G inside a spade on top of seat stays,
and the decals reading "ConCeiCro", or "GonGeiGro"? (or mixture of the C's and G's)
Any idea of when this was built and where?
Thinking of bikes with a G, Gucerotti, Gitane et al, can't find an exact match with the logo.
Any help much appreciated.
Also found a Colnago Saronni frame in okish nic for a steal (see next post from me)!
Ta all
(photos are not taken by me!)

bumping as the G in the spade seems very familiar to me, must be an instant sign for someone who knows?
Thanks again to anyone with any idea here.

Looks like a nice bike. I've run across a lot of Italian "no-name" bikes on eBay; good tubing, nice lugwork, etc. but no history on them at all. Looks like mid-80's Columbus SL bike.

There is Grandis, Gloria - it is neither of those. I would like to see more photos of the lugwork, stay bridges, bottom bracket etc. Looks very interesting.

Just guessing but I'd say it's exactly what it says it is. I'm guessing those are G's in the name, so the G stamp in the heart makes sense. Gongeigro? Looks like a low volume high quality bike.

it looks like a fine quality frame, and one I've never seen before. The spade with a "G" is familiar looking, but not familiar: it's not a Confente, probably not a Colnago rip-off either, but it seems to be well made. Most likely a very small-output builder or something made for a shop or distributor as a "house brand" by somebody who knows how to build. Probably you can't go wrong, especially if it's another $20 Aussie bargain.

Dunno. He may have. Frank is still working, I might be dropping in to ask him about one of his frames soon so I'll check.
