Shimano or campagnolo hubs?

2nd dibs on the shiny shimano

There is a crack in the screen that I was just about to get replaced. Other than that, it's in very good nick. It's probably about 1.5 years old, give or take a month. Haven't used it at all since I got my iPhone 7.
Price........hmm, I was gonna sell it for £200, but for a fellow cyclist I could go £190.
Edit. I would fix screen before selling it to you

I got an iPhone 6 on O2

Oft......really fancy that Ax Lightness saddle

Dang!!! I woulda had those record wheels off you in a second. Just saw this post

Wow! That is beautiful. What frame size?

So, I had this nagging feeling in the back of my head. Sometimes if something seems too good to be true......it isn't.
With the help of @Jingle_Jangle, I was able to get into contact with Marcos Gios who promptly put my fears to rest by confirming authenticity. I also now know that it was built in '85

Thanks @Jingle_Jangle, I've fired off an email with some pics. I also checked out that busyman you mentioned earlier....wow, my bank manager is gonna hate you

Hi guys,
I'm new here and I'm just about to start my first project. Picked up, what I believe to be, a really nice Gios Torino Professional. How would I find out more about my bike if I have frame number stamped on BB?

1. I hate you for putting me onto cycloretro
   
2. I love you for putting me onto cycloretro
   
3. Looking into Athena 11 speed with Gios/Campagnolo pantograph
   
4. Could you pm me a ballpark figure this is gonna take out of my kid's inheritance?
   

Thank you for the info @edscoble, the brake hood feel is a good shout.
So, just to be clear, I could take the rear wheel from my current 11speed sram setup and stick it on project bike if I put 11speed campagnolo on it?

@hma yes Potenza and Athena have both been suggested to me. They are very nice and I'm genuinely torn. However, what is swaying me slightly more to DA is that I run shimano on other bikes and it mean my wheels can be interchangeable.

@TheHighlander, that's the exact one. Did you have your eye on it too?
@Poetic, thanks for narrowing it down for me

I don't know the exact year of the frame, but it's between '83 and '86. Yes, it's 126, but I'll have that remedied shortly.

@SideshowBob I hope not to offend people, but I'm thinking to go neo retro with this. As for group set, I was at first thinking dura ace 7800 as it's simple & shiny enough to be vaguely retro but still modern enough to be useable. My friend has, in no uncertain terms, ordered me to put Campag on her or risk my life.

So.........after lurking around in the shadows on here for a while, I've finally plucked up the courage to start my first project.
I say that I've plucked up the courage, but it was perfectly timed to coincide with my Polish mother in law coming to stay for, an as yet, undefined amount of time. The fact that I green lit her visit, meant that my latest n+1 flew well under the radar.
Originally, I was looking at a Colnago Master, but that fell through due to the seller being a bit flaky. Kinda glad it did tbh as there seems to be an abundance of them around.
After exercising a lot of patience and scouring the interwebs, I finally found my project bike. As a first project, I wasn't looking for something that would require lots of work. Not that I'm not willing to get my hands dirty, but more to do with lack of experience.
As the title suggests, I stumbled upon a stunning Gios Torino on eBay and soon came to a private agreement with the seller.

Could you upload some pics pls?

Thank God it's too big for me. Beautiful bike GLWS

Thanks for the info. Yeah, as I thought, too big. Dang!!!

I think this might be slightly too big for me. How tall are you?
