gios 1973 racing bicycle: NISI rims
[a coincidence]
25/12/2009. Below is the label on the old rims of my 1973 Gios:
until today I could not make the name of the manufacturer from the scruffy label - NI... what? - except that it was from Moncalieri (Torino - Italy) as this town name is on the rims.
Today, while looking at the catalog of GIPIEMME I saw at the bottom a link to some Cerchi Nisi→ and a bell rang... Went on that site and recognised the mark. The surprise is another one though... their homepage has this photograph by Nicola Zolin→, and what is that bicycle in there?...

...A Brompton! So the circle (or the rim) is closed.
