Gios Super Record

So very nice!! More pictures please!!

As promised:

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.
