Gios Torino Super Record Paris-Roubaix 1977

Old School Hero
At L'Eroica 2010 Gios Torino present this model. It's a re-issue of the successful bike used by the famous Brooklyn team. Specific a re-issue of the bike Roger de Vlaeminck's fourth victory in Paris-Roubaix.

Always been a great fan of De Vlaeminck and somewhere in 1980 I bought my first Gios Torino.

Marco (son of Aldo) Gios explained this model will produced in only 35 pieces.
For me there is a lot of history on this bike so a few months later I picked up the frame in Italy.

Note : after the separation there are two Gios company's. It's confusion but my heart goes out to the Torino-part. That means also you must go to Italy to buy your frame. But it's not so hard to visit Italy :mrgreen:

Good food, nice people, great place to make a tour on a bike.

I had the plan to use the bike for Paris-Roubaix Ciclosturist 2012. The first plan was to build the bike with modern alu Campa parts.

But after a few good nights the plan even get's better................

I also dreamed about that great Campa 50 anni group................

So when I weak up there was just only one thing in my mind: 50 anni group!

Ok it's not time correct but I'm not looking for correct I'm looking for fun!

So I called the project team together and told my plan

Just put as many 50 anni parts on it! But don't pay to much.

And searching was on........................
 
Some 50 anni parts are hard to find. So somes parts I used some other nice stuff. But I'still try to find the rest of the 50 anni group

Very nice Marchisio freewheel. It's also good. Not much noise and shifting is great!

Note: when riding a retro bike tour I put some old pedals on the bike :cool:
 
Such an amazing looking and iconic bike, it looks just perfect. A fantastic job :cool:
 
Verry nice :)

Every man cave should have scalextric and a pile of frames in the corner with an obligatory frame done up in Raleigh Team colours......I guess you can feel the jealousy :D

I but also the bike did a great job. A frame like this is born to attack the cobblestones. The Campy 50 anni parts also keep well. Great bike, great event, great day
