Ciöcc Assiolo Vintage Road Bike 1990s

Giovanni Pelizzoli – nicknamed "Ciöcc", which in the dialect from Bergamo means spike or nail – is well known worldwide thanks to his Ciöcc bikes, which he manufactured from 1969 to 1980. Monuments like the Iper, San Cristobal and Mockba left his workshop in northern Italy and soon became widely esteemed for a particular attention to details and meticulous craftsmanship. As a frame designer he was responsible for Olympic podium bikes and successful pro team machines. Even though the brand Ciöcc was soon handed over to other managers, their production stayed true to the legacy and some excellent road bikes were made.

Ciöcc models from the 90s tend to be named after birds, apparently. We have came across Falco (falcon), Gufo (long-eared owl) and here we present you the Assiolo, named after the small scops owl.

Our Ciöcc Assiolo classic 90s bike is made of Dedacciai Zero Tre steel tubes, not the lightest of tubesets, but it makes for a very stable frame with great longevity. Being the 1990s frame, it show some advanced features like the cable guides brazed on the heat tube lug or the internally routed brake cable, but it is also very classic indeed. The frame has some nice pantographed lugs, classic not oversized tubes, and the chromed fork with engraved Ciöcc logo.

It is equipped with Campagnolo Mirage, Veloce and Chorus parts from the 1990s with Ergopower 9-speed shifters on the bars. The Miche Reflex RX5 wheelset has good balance of weight and stability and as the cherry on top of it all sits the Mavic headset with extra smooth bearings.

Completely serviced in our workshop and with some brand new parts like tyres, chain, cables an so on it is ready to hit the roads.
