Ciocc question
 

Im nearing the end of my Ciocc restoration and was wondering why I can't find any apparel with Ciocc on it. I do an eBay search and have 15 items usually frames and bikes, I do a search for colnago and have 600 items. Are there not that many Ciocc bikes? And are the shirts and hats nonexistent?

PDM/Rudy Project/Ciocc team jerseys occasionally show-up on eBay. I don't recall seeing a Ciocc cycling cap like the one I got with my San Cristobal frame in 1986 for sale anywhere.

I've got a Ciocc North Face jacket but it lost it's flavor now that I don't have my Ciocc anymore.

Just didn't have the marketing clout of Ernesto...but you can buy a Ciocc embroidered patch from Walter S. and sew it on anything...bingo!
I think his email is still
wspokes@penn.com
but his handle here is "pamaguahiker", and here's a photobucket album that shows most or all his patch stock:

you should check and see if the Ciocc patches are still available, I think he might still have some.

That is cool, do you have a photo of it? It must be recent as North Face was not around in the '80s which would have been Ciocc's heyday.

North Face has been around since 1966 as I've had a sweater from the late 70's of theirs and other stuff. The jacket is from the 90's but I just picked up one of the Ciocc patches as spoke about above and sewed it on. lol.

Wow, I thought they were a new company. Learn something new every day.

I used to have a real Italian wool winter cycling cap that had the Ciocc logo on the front... I think I left in in the airport one time.
