Help identify my Gios

[Jamiedyer]

It looks nice
What is the routing for the brake cables? is it internal along the top tube?

Re:

Clip on. There are no cable guides/lugs. Also no cable guides for the front and rear mechs..
Gear shifters will have to be band on as well.
It's a peculiar frame. If it had track rear drop outs I'd say it was an early 70's pro track.

Re:

Good morning guys, and it is a good morning!
On your advice I mailed pictures to gios.it to see if the frame could be identified and they were back on to me first thing this morning.
"The frame is a Gios Aerodynamic from 1981, columbus air tubes.
By the way it has been modified during the years. there are no welded cable guides as they should be.

I'm delighted with the news as I knew this was a good frame.
Next question.. What's it worth ?
I ride a 54cm frame so this is too big for me.
It's makes sence to sell it so as to fund my other projects( 1991 giant cadex and an early 80's Anselmo sl)
I've a new in the box gran sport brake set to go with it as well as other campag record bits.
Any ideas as to its value?
Cheers

Re:

I would expect to see £200 ish from it, in its current state. If it had all the braze ons probably more. I'm sure giosgremlin will be along shortly to give a better idea.
