Bikes: 1967 Paramount; 1982-ish Ron Cooper; 1978 Eisentraut "A"; two mid-1960s Cinelli Speciale Corsas; and others in various stages of non-rideability.

The photos give further credence to a very reliable source (won't say who) who told me that Ciocc made his frames with teh same wheelbase regadless of other dimensions, the result being, as the frame gets larger and larger, the head angle gets steeper and steeper and the tide gets twitchier and twitchier.

My source said a 64cm Ciocc was downright scary to ride - I don't even want to think about this one.
