Early 2000s Gios TT bike

I'm mildly obsessed with both vintage TT bikes and hopelessly antiquated engineering. This thing is the perfect Venn diagram overlap.

According to the seller, it once belonged to Danny Summerhill (Garmin) - raced by him as a junior and also his mom, a triathlete.

It's just weird enough that I like it, and uses 700c wheels so I can race it on occasion. I stripped it and rebuilt with a relatively modern groupset and a Cinelli Angel my buddy raced back in the day and gave me to use.

It handles like a '66 Galaxie 500 after you polished off a bottle of Cuervo, and the Angel cockpit is as slammed as any funny bike. But it is absurdly FAST, in those moments I can get ahold of the thing. Of course I will mess with the fit, jack up the cockpit a bit, so I can actually stay in decent aero position for more than a minute. It also has a ridiculous 72˚ STA, so I put on a zero-setback post to get the saddle a little closer to where it should be by today's standards.

It's suprisingly light at 17.5 pounds with the Ventos. Probably a pound less with my DV46 race wheels.

Anyway, here it is.
