Inquiry for Ciocc experts
Just found a Ciocc frameset with chrome forks but no pantographing/embossing on fork crowns. I think it is a Competition SL frame, since the driveside stay is chromed. Definitely a Ciocc frame as seatstays are embossed. Question is whether the fork is likely original. Pics later. Thanks.

Post some pix. Ciocc info is a bit sketchy. I've looked at about a bazillion internet pix trying to ID mine. I've never come across any evidence of a non panto fork crown. But that said my frame has a different lug treatment and I have never found a pix of an identical one. It is definitely a late 70s SL Ciocc frame & fork with the earlier non tail C on both. All the builders probably had deviations from what we think should be a standard years later. Some more than others. My Ciocc is the liveliest ride I have. Enjoy yours!

Your mention of "liveliest ride" makes me think the fork IS original, as it seems a bit twitchy in handling.

I have a vintage San Cristobal with the "4-suits-in-the-Club" panto plus a later one (early '90s) with a semi-aero crown and that has the word "Ciocc" panto'd in the crown on an angle. Never seen a genuine Ciocc forkcrown that looked like yours...but it's not conclusive.

2 on Vermont CL right now. Both have a panto on crown. One painted, the other chrome. I haven't seen a lot of these frames but, I do seem to remember them having logos on the crowns.

Some measures from Ciocc owners could confirm or deny that.
You could always send it back to have it painted in Italy... And maybe even get a fork made for it by the Man.
That has been referenced on the forum.

I think I've seen Tange forks that look like that.......so yes, most likely a replacement fork....

what size is your frame, or better: how long a steerer do you need?
If that was a Tange fork it almost certainly will be stamped "Tange" on the steerer and probably would have Tange forkends. I think it's some "other Italian".

how bad do you want a nice complete CIOCC? the send it back to the Man in Italy as suggested by repechage is not as expensive as it sounds. i sent a frame back and he turned this
into this
... he replaced 2 seat stays and the rear dropouts... so i'm pretty sure he can make you a new fork...

I recall a thread where someone sent his Ciocc back to Italy for repainting and rechroming, and it was stunning. Not sure I have the funds for that, but I have inquired Ciocc about cost of a new new fork. Waiting for a response.

Ciocc forks come and go on eBay on a regular basis.
I just bought one and sold another in Feb. I needed a longer steer tube. The one I just sold --->

And it's replacement --->
I am not an expert but I think it should have a panto fork.

That's encouraging. I did a quick search last week, but no forks popped up. I agree a panto'd fork is required. The drop-outs are Campy, so it's probably an Italian fork and not Tange. Will check the steerer for stamping and length shortly. I will also post a pic of the frame.

Nothing stamped on the fork, save a single number: 6. Steerer length is ~195mm.
Check out this "patina." It's rigged for "evaluation" at this point. Came with the single-speed crank.

The frame is a little big, so I'll probably just use the existing fork until I figure out whether to keep it or not.
