Gios Torino Super Record 1979

HISTORY

The second version of Gios Torino which was built from 1979 to 1980, was slightly different in terms of its components. The "GT" fork crowns were replaced with a different crown with very typical Gios badges, which basically covered the air-holes used during the welding of the forks. This alteration also took place on the bottom bracket shell, where the GT engraving was replaced by the GIOS writing. The bike had normally a Super Record Campagnolo groupset, with Campagnolo Record brakes with long bolt. Also, the bike had white stickers on the seat tube, down tube and the top tube.
