Back in 1958 Alfredo Gios, was just eighteen years old, when he started work in the family business founded ten years before by his father, Tolmino, who had been an excellent professional cyclist participating to several important races and having being selected as member of the Italian National Team during the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936.

In the early times, the Gios business activity was mainly linked to the sale of classical models of City bikes. The turning-point of the company came in November 1971, when Alfredo Gios met Mr. Giorgio Perfetti, owner of the world famous chewing-gum brand “Brooklyn”, during a Cycle show in Milan, where Gios was exhibiting the new bicycle model “Easy Rider”. Right after seeing it, Giorgio Perfetti immediately ordered 100 units of this style for a Lucky Draw organized by his company.
