Philosophy

Aldo Gios' bicycle Decalogue

- The true quality of a frame is felt in the descents
- In a racing bicycle, half a degree in the construction of the frame is more important than half a kilo in its weight
- 20 grams on the wheels are more important than 500 grams on the frame
- The tubes of a frame are like the ingredients of a dish. All are important but the taste depends on the skill of the chef
- A racing bicycle must be made to measure
- The bicycle is the heritage of Italian Culture, and we must preserve it
- A steel frame is like a gold coin. It keeps it's value as the years pass by
- The frame is the heart of the bicycle, and the groupset merely the clothes it puts on
