So i am now the owner of this early 80's Ciocc track frame / fork. At least I think it's a Ciocc...
It was sprayed up and badged as one, although it doesnt have any of the pantographing that others seem to (top of fork crown / seatstays etc). But does look very similar to a Mockba 80. Same forks / chroming etc.
The only info I've managed to dig is that it used to be ridden by this dude http://www.veloveritas.co.uk/2012/04/26/paul-mchugh-interview/ - that's according to the old boy who sold me (Chris) it. I'm not sure how true that is, because from the pictures in that article, Paul McHugh doesnt look tall enough to ride this frame... Hmm
Plus the serial / frame number I found on the top nearside of the seat-tube BA 2864 R (see pic) while stripping the paint... Googling and interweb searching has brought nothing up on this number though.
Maybe this was a un-branded frame that Ciocc made, for the rider or team? Could be a possibility. Not sure if anyone can be of any help! I should probably just try andcontact Mr. Pelizzoli
