The GIOS appreciation/info thread

I doubt that it's a fake. that seat tube - seat stay lug combo is very Gios also it looks like you have the adjustable rear drops outs as well.

A lot of expense/hassle to fake those.

I have a compact but with chrome forks and it is a darker hue like yours.

The newer Gios bikes are now made in Japan becuase they sold out.

This Looks lika Lot of work!
The Stickers are mixed of several Compact versions
So I guess the paint scheme is not original
The Top Tube Covers for the brake housing look like Cinelli, so not original And not tight enough
Please publish the Frame numbers And I can give you an idea of which model you own: Compact, Compact Pro, Compact Pro Evolution aso.
Collectable is only the First issue by th way
