That's very possible. Giovanni "Ciocc" Pelizzoli sold the Ciocc trade mark to Stefano Bonati and his partners in 1991. I believe that frame building was probably farmed-out to a number of different builders after that. Regardless, the double downtube was probably intended to add stiffness to the bottom bracket. The Titan accelerates like a scared rabbit but is amazingly smooth-riding on typically less-than-ideal south Louisiana asphalt. I've also been carving tight turns with it at speed. Wish I'd had it back in my early crit racing days - I might have actually placed!
