[net.bicycle] Frameset info request

jcs@erc3ba.UUCP (J.C.Sekutowski) (01/27/86)

I'm in the process of buying a new frameset.  Currently
leaning toward a 'Gios torino Professional'.  Does anyone
have any experience or information on how this frame
compares (i.e. handles, reliability, paint, etc.) to other
framesets like Guerciotti, Ciocc, Eddy Merckx, Trek, etc.

If it helps I'm a 175 lb. 6'2" rider doing commuting (45
miles round-trip) and longer rides on week-ends.  I'm more
interested in stability of the bike rather than high-speed
cornering ability, etc.

Responses can go to the net or to me directly since my machine
does not get the net.news directly.

Thanks,
