GIOS Compact Pro w/ Chorus

I agree with the previous poster in that quill stems look classier, but threadless are just so much better to use. In my opinion of course.
When I am bombing hills with lots of cracks and bumps, I wish my Colnago had a threadless stem. Quills just aren't beefy enough for my tastes.

You like that geometry? I am looking to get something with more aggressive angles like that in the future.

Great photo! Just a few thoughts, which you might consider if you wish. 1. Why not pixel the "bike stand" away with the help of Photoshop? 2. Wrapped speedo wire doesn't look well. Better would be to tape it to the back of the front brake cable. 3. Wash the bar tape before taking photo, lazy bugger! (I have the same problem, using white Cinelli cork on my De Rosa Neoprimato). 4. Well, this is a question of taste, but I would have preferred a quill stem for such a lugged beauty - especially because Gios offers a great threaded fork. (silver Cinelli X/A would match your beautiful Campy aero seatpost perfectly).
P.S. Nothing against your a-head configuration really - as I said, just a question of taste!
P.P.S. If you want to look at my De Rosa - find it on Flickr!

do you ever imagine that you're riding the back roads of Milano when you get on this thing?

capture! Camera? Details please...

Oh man. This is truly an amazing bike. You have my dream bikes. Those wheels are mighty.
