Hi

I've been looking at Cioccs as of late and they seem to be extremely nice frames, and I was looking specifically at their aluminium offering, the Saphir. I was just interested to know if anyone had any experience with this or any other Cioccs? I kind of get the impression they're more a 'tailor made' sort of firm with all production in Italy (ie the opposite of Bianchi and Pinarello) which might make them a bit difficult to come across.

Finally, does anyone have a rough estimate as to how much these things actually cost?

Last year they were £495 - don't know who supplies in the UK though

Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

That's pretty good money I think, but maybe I'll wait a bit and save up a lot more money and get a really nice carbon frame from them...

Are the frames customizable (paint-wise) like Mercians or do you just get a choice of three colors or something?

For best prices on Ciocc, try Maestro in Pagham, near Bognor

Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

I use to have a Ciocc Challenger which was a brilliant bike. Buy any Ciocc and I'm sure you will be very pleased with it. I used and abused mine for over eight years and it never gave me any trouble. Unfortunately I crashed it so it came to a sad end.

...I checked their website and they only seem to do Colnago and a few other firms I've never heard of...

Thanks anyway though Smile
