Just a mini-update today, the decals arrived and they look to be spot on, so off to Goff has gone frame, headset, forks and decals.
A thought or so about why I'm rebuilding the Gios; firstly it deserves to be restored as it was once beautiful (in my eyes at least), secondly, I want to ride it on the road again, even if only on good days. If I wanted art to hang on my walls, I would take a photograph or buy a painting, bicycles are for riding. It WILL have pedals.
In the God-knows-how-long until the frame comes back gleaming, I have plenty of components to play with or buy. I have many of the original bits, most of which are somewhere under an inch or so of grime and oil.....
