They're both speaking Belgian... mutually unintelligible! hahaha
From 1975 to 1980 we sold 2-3 Gios frames a year. The paint, workmanship and prep was head and shoulders above almost all of the other pro frames that went through our shop. That included US and Italian Masi's.
We had to at minimum ream and hone the seat tubes on many of the top shelf Italian frames we sold. Some we had to reface the head tube, fork crown and/or BB before assembly! Not so with Gios.
repechage I bought an early Gios Super Record frame from John Pergolizzi back in 2012. It was high on my bucket list. Assembly went just as smoothly as I remembered BITD. The ride was as I'd forgotten, rather "brisk"...
Three years back I got a bucket list De Rosa, an early 80's model. The ride is how you say,
je ne sais quoi But, I was disappointed in the workmanship: I had to round out the top of the seat tube - it was built oval plus I had to remove .5mm from each side of the BB shell.
BlueDevil63 Good luck with your sale... IMLTHO, it's way under priced! Are we allowed to say that?
