  • So very nice!! More pictures please!!

    Yes! Yes! Yes!

    And! My favourite saddle.....your the same frame size as me?! ;P

  • looks great.. well done and super documented project.. but, do i spot a daunty brake lever angle there?!

  • Reckon the lever angle is fine, bike is leaning at quite an angle against the Wendy House.

  • Bugger, you've set the bar high for any future Gios (or any other) project, beautiful!

    I have the white 1983/4 Gios Professional bought off a forum member recently. The bike is in near perfect condition, and the packing for shipping to Australia was exceptional.
    Fortunately only a few things (brake levers and gear levers) to acquire and then the build starts. I had some off white paint matched yesterday for the few stone chips.
    And I bought the nut spinner recommended for brake lever mounting.
    I will be recovering a Brooks saddle frame in the Ottusi style, and having a try at stitched leather wraps on the handlebars in the Almarc style. To reflect the bike is now in Australia, I bought some kangaroo leather yesterday for the bars. This leather is supposed to be much stronger than regular leathers for the same thickness. If I lived closer to Canberra I might have bought the roo leather cheaper. Soon to be an increase in supply.

  • great work!

  • Great thread. Still in love?

  • With the bike, or with the wife?

  • With the bike, or with the wife?

    both, but then I didnt realise this was a wife thread as well. Nice gift though.

  • Holy balls that looks nice.

  • Great story, great build, great outcome.

    Forza!

  • And another Big Boy with a beautifull piece. I must notice, that Gios got a lot of 6" up Fans on this Forum, incl. me. Have a nice ride and take care.
