OK, now I got You. In this case it would match your collection, but the fork is missing!!
And, what about the adjustable dropouts , the rubber plugs of the brake-cable ( toptube) are they complete, all Original aso?! You cant get no spares!
Thanks for signalling, I really appreciate. Being a non-connoisseur when it comes to Gios, I wouldn't have noticed those things if they were missing. I think I'll have a look at it this noon, it's only a couple of streets away.
I'm not really a collector, I just happen to like steel bikes and don't have the heart to resist when a nice one pops up. ;-)
But I only "collect" the bikes from my early racing days (nineties), and this Compact Pro is said to be from 1996.
