Gios project, broken colnago master, and free allez

More clearing out. Bit of a weird mix of things I thought I would have the time to do a few years ago, I then made my life busy and changed what projects I wanted to do (classic).

1. Gios torino super record. This has been repainted as its had canti mounts brazed on and the cable guides changed to run under bb. One cable guide housing on tt is broken. I emailed alfredo gios to confirm authenticity and he said "is a bike" from I think 77-79 but I now can't find the email. My plans were to strip paint and unbraze canti mounts, repaint blue. I also have relevant decals but i think they're shit. It has a new black bbb headset on it which I put on a while ago to ride around a bit as basic ss conversion to feel size, was too big, think 58 square. Will check when I find my tape measure. Headtube in good condition, haven't extracted bb but the campag (xenon??) Cranks in atm spin very smooth. Any interest at £100?

2. Colnago gone.

3. Specialised allez from around 2012. Was written off by insurance has a Dent in one chainstay. Built it back up 2 years ago in pandemic as beater, felt OK, only rode a haandful of times. Bad memory bike, took shifters off to give to someone, who then decided they didn't want them. will get the shifters back from work. Old 9 speed tiagra/sora group, have the rear wheel somewhere. Potential to ride away and into a fiery death. £0

Collecting in hampton tw12

edit: ignore me. I have loads on atm

That poor poor allez.
Someone should start a gofundme for it.

Innit

I absolutely loathe looking at it. Will have a look at it in the daylight tomorrow and put it together a bit.

Pm sent

Colnago for £20 please. Will PM now
Can I please have Allez for Reading Bicycle Kitchen too.

Fair few pm's to sort through for the master. So am gonna take pics here for people to see in detail. While replying individually. The chainstays and seatstays are hard to photograph the damage as its a black frame but I wouldn't and didn't ride it after seeing the damage grow. The main triangle, headtube, forks, seat stay cluster, rear brake bridge, dropouts, look all good to me. All 4 stays I reckon would need to braze out and replace. The bottom bracket she'll also has a rust hole in the middle.

Master gone pending collection. Potentially allez as well

Unlikely 2nd dibs on the Colnago but would need it posting (at my expense obvs) so understand if you can't be arsed.

3rd here. I’d be interested in the colnago too and can collect if it makes any difference.

Colnago gone. Allez prov gone. Thanks for all the interest. Gios still a nice small project...
