Never ridden 56cm Gios Super Record '78 frame and fork with Campagnolo headset
and bottom bracket
In 2003 Excel Sports, the sole distributor of Gios in the US, commissioned a
25th anniversary replica of a very limited edition of the 1978 Gios Super Record
frameset. The frameset was built at the same factory as the originals were made
(this one is number 45 of a 100 frame limited edition run of these Gios Super
Record '78 framesets) using the same construction methods as the 1978 model, but
designed to allow modern components to be used on them.
They sold out before I could get one, so when I saw this built up but never
ridden Gios Super Record '78 recently I bought it without even blinking. With
too many frames, however, even this one (which truly is a bit tall for me) is
for sale.
You can see the very ad, including specs and history and a picture of the
frameset, that Excel used in advertising this Gios frameset back in 2003-2004

This beautiful lugged steel frameset is painted in the famous Gios Blue color
with white panels, a metal headtube badge, and GIOS engraved at the top of the
seat stays.
The frame measures 56cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the
seat tube (or 56.5 cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the
top tube) with a 54.5cm long top tube.
The fork is 1" threaded with a traditional fork crown that has the "Gios coins"
inserted in it. The bottom bracket shell is Italian threaded with cutouts on the
bottom. The horizontal rear dropouts are Campagnolo, fancy drilled with
adjustable screws, and measure 130mm wide. The cable guides are brazed-on above
the bottom bracket shell, with a braze-on front derailleur and downtube shifter
bosses also. This frame takes a 27.2 seatpost. The rear chainstay measures 41cm
and the seat tube angle is 74 degrees. There are two sets of water bottle
bosses.
This particular Gios frame and fork were built up, displayed as "rideable art",
but never ridden. There are a few paint scuffs at the rear dropouts and a couple
of very small chips on the bike from build-up and display, but overall this
frameset is in absolutely fantastic condition. All of the tubes have been
treated with Boeshield T-9 rust prevention spray.
Price: $700

New 54cm Habanero titanium frame
I ordered and bought this frame brand-new from Habanero this winter and have not
done anything with it other than I took it out of the box to look at it.
I owned and rode a Habanero in this exact model and size and loved the ride. The
titanium frame makes for a smooth ride, yet the oversize chainstays and frame
design don't allow the frame to flex when climbing or sprinting. This frame has
the expensive-looking nice brushed finish, which means no maintenance is needed
to keep it looking great.
This Habanero measures 54cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of
the top tube, or 55.3cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the
seat tube, with a 54.5cm top tube. The Habanero Titanium road frame is made from
seamless, brushed Aerospace Grade 3Al/2.5V Tubing. The headtube is designed for
a 1" fork. You can read all about Habanero, and more specifically the details on
this frame, at:
http://www.habcycles.com/road.html
The Habanero frame currently retails for $795, plus $40 shipping, for a total of
$835.
Price: $550

New 54cm Marinoni frame and fork and Campagnolo headset
This is a gorgeous hand-made frameset measuring 54cm center to center with a
55cm top tube. It was built by master frame builder Giuseppi Marinoni in Canada.
His frame building and paint were all done in-house to ensure the highest
quality product, and it shows! Marinoni no longer builds lugged steel frames
because of the expense and time it takes to build each one, but his other
high-end frames can be seen on his website at:
http://www.marinoni.qc.ca/html/2005/05_en_index.asp
This beautiful new lugged frameset is built with Columbus SLX New steel tubing.
It has a striking Pacific Blue and Quicksilver airbrushed paint scheme with
black Marinoni decals and the fork crown pantographed with the Marinoni "M".
There are two sets of water bottle bosses, pump peg, braze on front derailleur
tab and down tube shifter bosses, 68mm (English) bottom bracket shell, 130mm
rear spacing, and
the rear brake cable is routed at 7 o'clock on the left side of the top tube. A
new installed Campy Record headset is included. The frame tubes have all been
treated with Boeshield T9 rust prevention spray.
Price: $400

56cm Olmo Sintex frame and fork
From one of the great Italian frame builders comes this vintage Olmo Sintex
frame and fork. The frame is made from high-end Columbus SLX steel tubing and is
fully lugged, with a matching 1" threaded steel fork.
The frame measures 55cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of
the top tube, or 56cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the
seat tube, with a 55.5cm top tube.
The frame is painted a light and dark metallic platinum and pewter with red
decals. The right chainstay is chromed. The threaded steel fork matches the
paint scheme on the frame. There is Olmo pantographing on the top of the seat
stays, brake bridge, top of the bottom bracket shell, and fork crown that are
all filled in with red paint to match the decals...very nice!
There are two sets of water bottle bosses, rear brake cable is routed inside the
top of the top tube, frame has a braze-on front derailleur tab and pump peg and
braze-on downtube shifter bosses and braze-on cable guides under the bottom
bracket shell, with horizontal rear dropouts (adjusting screws included) that
measure 126mm wide (7, 8, 9, or 10 speed wheels will fit).
The frame and fork are in very good condition with no dents or rust. There are a
few paint scratches on this lightly ridden, but well-maintained and cared for
used bike. The chrome is excellent with no pitting or rust. The frame tubes have
all been treated with Boeshield T9 rust prevention spray.
Price: $350

New 53cm LeMond Tourmalet frame and fork
This is a great price on a great frame and fork! This is a new LeMond Tourmalet
frame and fork that has been sitting in a bike shop just waiting for someone to
build it up and ride it.
This frame measures 53cm from the center of the bottom bracket to center of the
top tube (or 54cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top
tube, or 55.5cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat
tube) with a 54.5cm top tube.
The frame and fork are painted a brilliant fire engine red, with white panels on
the seat tube and down tube and contrasting red or white decals. This is a very
nice, very fast looking frame and fork! The frame tubing is the legendary
Reynolds 525 steel that was TIG welded here in America and comes with a 1"
threaded fork.
The rear brake cable is routed at 7 o'clock on the top tube, frame takes a
clamp-on front derailleur and has braze-on down tube shifter bosses and a pump
peg and two sets of water bottle bosses. The rear dropouts are short horizontal
(no dropout screws included, I never use them) and measure 130mm wide. There are
threaded eyelets on the fork and rear dropouts.
The condition of the bike is excellent as it is a brand new model from the very
late 90's. The paint is vibrant and the frame and fork have been completely
treated inside the tubes with Boeshield T-9 rust prevention spray. There are
very few very small tics from shop wear that have been touched up by matching
red touch-up paint and are hard to even see unless you look for them.
To see what the bike could look like built up, go to:

Price: $250
