• indeed, but stickers seem to be on top of the paint?

  • Biggest photo ever.
    One of these or a carbon aero frame? Can't make up my mind.

  • 10x worse that the road frames.

  • why?

  • My personal opinion. Taste (or lack of).
    Finish, decals. Just compare and make your own decision.
    IMHO, the grey frame is not only present in HK, it's even built there.

  • awesome

  • im just asking him about the pantographing now.

  • is that white one yours, emtra?

  • hehe

  • that gold is ridiculous. In a good way. 6 days until I get money, hopefully I might have one of these on order by then.

  • mine are nearly ready...just deciding for the colours!

  • yeah, I'm going to get the rear triangle chromed and I'm trying find a nice metalic orange colour.
    I got this reply just now:
    "The PELIZZOLI pantograph will be on: head fork, lower front lung, seat lug, cassette and drop outs."

    what do you mean, built in HK?

  • an allegory

  • is that white one yours, emtra?

    Yes. That's mine.

  • Hi Emtra,
    I hope you are delighted with your pelizzoli pista frame.
    About seven years ago I visited the Ciocc establishment in canonica d'adda about 10miles outside Bergamo.At that time I was interested in having a lugged steel road frame with "Conti"decals.In 2004 lugged steel was yesterdays news as aluminium then carbon were becoming predominant.However Mr Fulvio Biondi a partner in the Ciocc company said it was no problem for them to build me a traditional frame.Mr Biondi was very helpful guy who spoke excellent English and he showed me round the Ciocc work shop which was small.The sign on the gates said nuovo cicli Conti-Ciocc.I do not know when Mr Pelizzoli sold the name"Ciocc"but Conti and Ciocc have been ridden from at least the early 1980's to early 90's by pro teams.The great Belgian rider Freddy Maertens spent his last two seasons on Conti bicycles on a Belgian team.

    ON the film anima d"accacio featuring Pelizzoli building a frame near the beginning is a old picture of Claudio Corti who won the amateur Worlds road race at San Cristobal on a Ciocc.
    

    Anyway sorry for rambling on, I think I will get a jet 2 flight from leeds to Bergamo and pay a visit to Giovanni and ask him to build me a road frame San Cristobal style!

  • Very golf choice! Visiting Giovanni' factory is a real esperienze.
    And you will see there an original San cristobal among many other bikes and pictures of old pro including bugno winning an italian championship with one of the first aluminium frame aver built

    Wait, I think there were ALAN frames when Bugno was still riding his trike to kindergarden.

    No doubt. Alan has always been one step ahead. Bugno frame was "one of the first" but not THE first.
