Meeting with him in his shop in in Bergamo in 2015 for a custom frame measurement: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...cf2983b4af.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...a8cba218a3.jpg At which time he was in his mid-80's and a recent cancer survivor. A year later, this showed up: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...a1026c8bc0.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...2041d872c3.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...d2772a184e.jpg Intended to fit both 700 X 32 and 650B X 38, it has worn 80's Campagnolo SR, Shimano Deore, and Dura Ace components https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...caa945e22b.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...d0a189a16f.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...971248a511.jpg It also travels well, having been to Cino, Eroica, El Tour de Tucson, Storming of Thunder Ridge, and a bunch of other 'legendary rides'. In other words, it's worth the scratch. Make a bid. |
Good selection of a twin plate crown

I'm 5'11, 32 inseam. That top tube just seems really short too. I love the idea of "John" (my name), the Ciocc connection, and the fact that it's from Bergamo. Not too far from where I lived for a few years. While living there, some of old guys on the canal path had "mezza-corsa" or "semi-corsa" bikes. Basically, nice steel frames with Belgian bars, sometimes fenders, and sometimes even a chain guard (shifters still on the down tube). I always wanted to build something up like that. I saw old Ciocc, Colnago, Olmo, Casati, Legnano frames* all turned into town bikes. There's a spot on the canal that I'd ride by every day on the way home from the office. The retired guys would all be playing chess and there was this one guy that had a Ciocc, all chrome. Upright bars, brooks saddle and fenders, little stainless steel rack on the front that always had a newspaper in it. I loved it. If this thing was just a smidge bigger, I'd be jumping on it. I'm still kind of thinking since riding upright would make the top tube length ok. *not low end stuff either - you could tell that many were really nice frames, not "gas pipe" city bikes |

Are you serious? It's just small enough to say no, but not small enough to say "it could work"
