Ever since 1948, when Tolmino Gios opened his workshop in Turin, Italy, his name has come to mean real, thoroughbred bicycles. And that is exactly what you get here with the Gios Compact; a rock-solid steel bike with an absolute ton of history behind it. Released in 1986, the Compact was one finest frames ever produced by Gios. Beside the technical innovations already introduced with he Professional model in the same year (such as the patented and waterproof seals for the internal routed rear brake cable and the one piece BB-shell with integrated bridge), the Compact features an adjustable dropout system, its most significant development.
This particular frame set is what we all desire: a full chromed high-end hand built frame set by one of the most known italian bicycle manufactures. Very good overall condition with, of course, minor signs of probably beautiful rides.
Internally routed read brake cable, little Gios-like details all over the frame and ready to shine in your collection.
