This is the best forum ever. My friend recommended it to solve my problem, and she was 100% right. Thanks for any help!

😂 my wife is already jealous that I’m spending more time with this bike, than with her. I’ll skip 11th measurement for my safety 😎

Thanks! This was my next question: where I can buy decals. This looks like one of sources.

Nope. I was wrong. The diameter is exactly 26.8 I’ve measured it 10 times 😂

The diameter seems to be less than 26.8 But I’m not sure if I’m measuring the proper place. Shouldn’t I measure the internal diameter of seatstay? It refers to the frame tubing vs seatpost which gives the value of the external element. Sorry if this is a rookie question.

Hey! Thanks for help! This is probably the serial number 87A1690 Sorry for a photo quality. I bought it mainly because the Shimano Golden Arrow is in great shape. As well as BB and Campagnolo headset. It is hard to believe that someone made this bike a fake Gios, and put a great hardware...

Yes, you are possibly right. I would love to know the brand and give it an oryginal decals.

Thank you!

Dear all I’m new on the forum. My name is Chris and I’m looking for help in defining the brand of the classic road bike. I’ve bought it in December in Poland for 70 pounds. I was told it is Gios, but when I started to service it I also started to have doubts. The challenge: the frame - lugs...
