Giordana Polaris - Italian Magic

[jamesdak]

This one languished on sale for awhile but after a price drop noticed right after returning from a ride on my Giordana Antares I pulled the trigger. This is the 3rd Giordana to make it's way into my stable and all 3 are amazingly good bikes. This one is SLX tubed with a dang near mind Dura Ace 7400 setup on it right now. I've got a Record 10 silver 10 speed group sitting in a box and may just put it on this one. Appears to be a 1992 model.

And out on the road.

They were made by Gita themselves. The owner wanted a quality frame to compete at a cheaper price point then the other high end bikes they were importing.

Dario P. himself helped design the geometry on these and did some of the earlier frames/prototypes.
