Gios Evolution MTB project info

Hey Guys,

Found this frame a year or two ago and dug it up again during the spring cleaning of my stash.

I did found some small info online but there is not a lot. Some speak of a prototype but there are some around so this sounds unlikely to me. Can't seem to find this colour either online. Does anybody have anymore info on this frameset?

Have a bump - looks great and never knew Gios made a mountain bike.
Is that a spoke holder on the drive side chainstay? I'd say it's early, 92/93 at the newest?
