Dear List,

Can you help? I have two Gios Blue Super Record frames, one has the gold S/R decal on the top tube, original paint, GT pantograph on bottom of bracket, chrome forks and with a decal head badge it came with a Campagnolo group stamped 78 so I am sure this is the year, size 62cm. The second frame has been repainted looks identical with chrome forks, white S/R decal on top tube but with just two milled slots under bottom bracket, plus a metal head badge, size 61cm. Is this frame earlier or later. They both have identical drilled Campag drop outs. Am I correct in saying that the medallion forked frames are 1979 onwards. Thanks in anticipation.
