Ciocc, prononced..... Church, have recently relaunched their once popular San Cristobal frame. Columbus tubing, chrome rear stays, lugs and fork.......priceless.

Enquiries welcome. PM for more details.

 

Those are nice. The original founder and former owner of Ciocc is still making frames today under his own name. Check it out:

I've got some 8 speed Shimano 600 DT shifters somewhere, will dig around tonight and look for them.

 

I

Awesome!

That would be very cool.

I can't believe it's another year since I last visited this thread.

 

How big of a mission is it to have a fork re-cromed?

My Pinarello Pista is taking a hammering riding next to the beach

 

And what do I do regarding the Columbus decals on the sides of the fork?

Get new decals on ebay or from H LLoyd.

I have seen some really cool examples around!

The chroming isn't at all a mission, I think.

Just make sure the races and threaded bits are blanked off.

Okay: it was quiet at work, so I read the entire thread over two nights.

 

Suffice it to say that I am very impressed at the quality of the bikes as well as the knowledge of bicycles presented here.

 

I hope this thread carries on growing, and that more people recognize the beauty and magic of these bikes.

hey Guys, only found this thread today, check out my latest project at https://www.bikehub.co.za/gallery/album/1116-rossin-prestige-retro-italian-steel/ right here on the hub. Its a beautiful bike with new gruppo that rides like it's on rails. Whenever the weather is peachy she takes me for a ride over Chappies and Suikerbossie and back - man it's good. Every other bike I pass by looks like a plastic tin can that will be in the trash 5 years from now. I am curently building up a stunning Merckx stada OS for the wife - will post some pics of this baby in the albums section as soon as she is done, managed to save the original decals and paintjob - she is just awesome. Steel is real baby!

Thanks man. Keep an eye out for this retro golden bullet on next years Argus. She is going to be teaching all those ridiculously expensive carbon machines a thing or two about riding in style. All I need to find now is an old team Rossin jersey, some matching silver/gold lycra bibs and a sony walkman and I am set to do some serious damage. Yeah baby!
