Believe Gios is an outlier in that regard. Earlier ones (like my '78) had a chromed fork but everything else was painted, and in subsequent years they changed to a painted fork.

Of course, there were exceptions that had a lot of chrome, like this 'Professional' example: http://www.giostorino.it/images/stor...storino100.pdf

probably asking way too many bananas for this but man, it's gorgeous.

is the seller on here by chance? beautiful bike.

Do people really run an errand bike without brakes? :confused:

i was just talking about this today. I found that back when i rode a fixed gear everywhere, i found it was MUCH easy to carry a huge box or pizza box on the handlebar/on my side, since i didnt need to move my hands to hit the brakes. i know it sounds like not a big deal, but it makes a huge difference.

I most certainly run errands without brakes, ILE/Mash bag not pictured

I must be a chicken. I ride over 7,000 miles a year on fixed gear, but would never even consider riding without at least a front brake in traffic :eek:

That a nice build at a great price. Angry, your size too

$600 Colnago
 

Unsure of size but it seems like a screamin' deal, even if it's lookin a little rough.

More on the Winter bike posted a couple pages ago;

One of the bottle bosses has come off and a rivnut replaced it.

it's actually 53.5 tt with 1in head tube. can fit 28, 30mm might be a close call

seller may take 1500 complete and picked up in Sacramento ca

The down tube looks massive compared to my Dream. Love the description;

bicycle frame material: other/unknown

frame size: Road bike tires

handlebar type: triathlon

wheel size: other/unknown

The thicker DT’s were usually on the TT designated frames they made within some of their models like the Dream and C50. Usually steeper STA’s.
