I am still a bit suspicious about the exact provenance of the frame, especially due to the Columbus 'rivernizato' sticker in the seat tube. The seller tried to convince me that the frame was 100% original. The fact the frame came with no laquer didn't help to dissipate my doubts either. Sheldon Brown mentions that there were several frames in the mid-late 80s labelled as Ciöcc. This can be perhaps one of them.
@ Superprecise
The quality of the frame is good but not outstanding. Classic Italian race geometry. I find it quite comfortable to ride, especially in quiet country roads with relatively poor tarmac surface. The frame feels solid and, surprisingly, quite responsive when climbing. Steering is fine,not itchy at all, due to the relatively 'generous' rake for a race bike, hence why it is so comfy in poor surfaces. Excellent for relaxed rides and training. I will not consider this bike suitable for racing nowadays.
