Does anyone know an inporter of Gios frames from Italy. I would like http://www.giostorino.it/telai/gios-paris-roubaix-1977 but can't find one in the UK.
Do I have to go to the shop in Milano?

I believe they only sell them from their showroom in Turin.

Have you tried Race Scene in Barnsley (01226 292111)? That model's not listed on their website but they may be able to help in getting one for you to special order. Just an idea, anyway - let us know how you get on (I followed the link BTW, the Super Record Strada also looks a nice bit of kit).

Interested to hear how you get on with this. According to their website, they were only going to make 35 of these at most, with only two left now, but I think that information has been on their website for quite a while now.

GIOS Will only sell the Roubiax '77 replica in Italy.
I have one. Had to go to the shop just outside Turin to pick it up.
Given the cost of the frame, the cost of flying over there is next to nothing. Turin is a lovely city, and the visit to the GIOS shop was a real pleasure, I met Marco, and his dad Alfredo who built the frame.
If you get the opportunity to do this, you should.
Hope to start building up the frame soon, if collecting Super Record components doesn't bankrupt me, and will post pictures of the build on here.
