Ciocc was one of my my Italian dream bike back in the 80's. I remember feeling like I was in a trance when I encountered the Ciocc framesets hanging in the LBS near the University I went to. I tapped on the bare Ciocc, Guerciotti, Gios Torino and Masi frames just to listen to the lovely ringing tones I hear from them. I always prefered the graphics on the dark colored (green?, sorry I'm a bit color blind) Cioccs over al the other Italian bike colors back then.
But If I did get a chance or had enough money to get myself back then and now a "proper" Ciocc, it would certainly not made with the middling "Aelle" tubing. Columbus "SLX" will be my only choice!, of course!
Still love classic Cioccs......despite their "quick release" paint jobs.
