Thanks so much!

My previous source/link is no longer available. This is the same voice track, but the music accompaniment and the visuals of the brand names certainly add to the experience!

[Dale Alan]

Yeah I had 'em all except for Gios, that was not what I expected.

I think the word pronounced is Ciussi (bottle cages). Fits alphabetically in the sequence, where Gios does not. I think you "expected" correctly on Gios.

[Veloo]

They forgot "Doo-rrrah-chay".

[Cicli]

What about my Faggin?
Nobody ever gets that right.

I've had this bike for a few years, and still don't know the proper pronunciation.

+1. It's not good to make an "instructional" video and mix things up or make them confusing.

The big thing that most miss is that there is no "K" in Italian. But they have a hard "k" sound. The distinction is that "Ci", Ce" sound like CH, whereas "Ca", "Co" and "Cu" sound like K

The difference between Cinelli, Cima or Ciao and Campagnolo.

And to make it more confusing for many. "CH" always sounds like "K" as realized in the word Orchestra

Sounds like rose, but with the z sound replaced with an s sound, followed by "seen."

How you would say Rossini, but without the I

[Dead Man]

Meh... I'll just continue to awkwardly butcher them all.

[velotrack]

I thought ciocc was "Chee-Ock"? No idea. Likewise, I too will continue to butcher all of them.

Except for the glaring error with Gios/Ciussi (Ciussi = chee-oos-ee), that was pretty good. But at least 3x too slow for real Italians.
