Hi all.
Note PRICE DROP Now £300 w/o saddle.
For sale is my early 1990's (1991?) GIOS Evolution.

I have used the bike for weekend rides, lightweight touring through France and the occasional commute to work. Spec is mostly vintage Campagnolo Veloce, including the hubs. Wheels have recently been stripped and serviced including Goos bearings all round, everything on the bike is in proper working order.
Paintwork would benefit from touch up or full restoration, but no rust on the frame (the frame seems to be chromed under the paint, at least as far as the stays). The buyer may choose to restore or do as I did and just enjoy riding the bike as it is.
Full spec is as follows:
Frame Material: GIOS Lite
Front Derailleur: Campagnolo Veloce
Rear Derailleur: Campagnolo Veloce
Wheels: Campagnolo Veloce on Mavic Open Pro
Tyres: Vittoria Rubino
Crankset: Campagnolo 52/39
Brakes: Campagnolo Xenon
Saddle: Brooks Swift Titanium (honey)
Handlebar: Cinelli
Tape: Brooks Leather (honey)
Stem: Cinelli
Shifters: Campagnolo Centaur (9 speed)
Cage: Elite Ciussi
Pedals: Look (blue matches the GIOS frame perfectly!)
The Brooks saddle is the Ti version of the Swift, and is under 500 miles old, so still breaking in. The saddle has been looked after and treated regularly with Brooks Proofide. If the buyer would prefer to fit their own saddle I will take £100 off the asking price.
Price without saddle: £NOW 300
Price with saddle: £NOW 400
Collection from Dorking, Surrey or can meet local to Dorking / London / SE. Will consider posting UK only.
