Gios frameset

Hello all

I am looking for an old Gios Torino road frame and fork - I've noticed that there have been a few floating around on here over the years...

I need a very small size - around 50-51cm seat tube c-c. Any model, any condition considered, any price.

Please let me know what’s available! Thanks

Dave

Still looking - I know they are rare, but there must be a tiny Gios out there somewhere!

Small Gazelle frames are rare but small Good frames are more common....always look on Italian eBay.

I have a very nice small frame in Columbus SLX with internal routed cables, etc - but not Gios, alas!

I will have a look for you tomorrow at the vintage fair

What’s your budget your working with

Thanks for your replies!

That would be amazing @kobe, many thanks. Budget can stretch if the frame is nice enough.

@marxist_vulcan thank you, gazelles are lovely but a nice Gios is my dream frame. I have been watching Italian ebay for a while, but I wanted to involve the experts on the forum!

Try @colnago_costa

He sells Italian frames.

I've had half an eye out for one of these for years (in a 52 but still see pretty much everything that comes through here) and unfortunately it's a long wait in store. Best advice would be to search Turin bike classifieds and go to the gios shop and local second ha d bike shops in the area.

They just don't come up often in good condition but good luck

Haha @punkture I suspected as much! I know it’s a long shot but will be worth the wait if anything ever comes up! It’s not like I need an old Gios, just really really want one - very much n+1. I’m off work for a while with illness so passing the time looking. I am using all the usual channels like eBay Italy and some Italian bike shops too. Maybe needs a trip to Italy...

@punkture by the way, I am sure you have seen this but just in case:

Has been repainted but could be restored to Gios blue...

Yeah but after sending it to Gios to get the right blue etc the cost will be so much its not worth it. It's a beautiful frame but it's still an old steel frame....

This is why I've waited for so long

Haha true

@kobe thank you, that sounds great! Please send me the link and I will have a look.

@dj02 if you mean this one:

Looks nice but I am pretty sure it’s not a genuine Gios - i think it’s just been painted to look like one. Seller states it’s a replica, and some of the frame details aren’t quite right. Has done a pretty good job with the paint though...

Check out my Farleigh 51 for sale!

Thanks @debe26, looks very nice! I am trying to find a road frame though, and specifically a Gios. Good luck with your sale!
