Ciocc is one of those iconic Italian brands mostly from the 80′s. As I learned on Classic Rendezvous “Ciocc” means “poker faced” in the local Italian dialect, which was Giovanni Pelizzoli’s nickname. Some Ciocc bikes have headbadges that looks like a playing card with all the card faces represented.

The bike is called the San Christobal model. In 1977 Claudio Corti won the worlds at San Christobal Venezuela making this bike their signature model.
