Ciocc, (say like CHEE-OH-CH) for the
passionate cyclist, is a brand that recalls
the early days of the great Italian
handcraft tradition of road frames. It
was 60 years ago that CIOCC, working from a
small artisan shop, produced high quality
frames for some very demanding pro
riders. Sixty years later, CIOCC is
still visible in the professional ranks as a
confirmed leader in the world of road bike
frames. Stefano Bonati, Cesare Biondi
and Biffi Giuseppe - owners of Ciocc -
realize the importance of the company's
origins, traditions and attention to
detail. Ciocc is a market leader of
dream-worthy frames that become instant
classics and timeless in themselves as well
as evolved carbon frames.

Frameset
made of Dedacciai steel EOM 16.5 tubing, it is
a unique and personalized creation,
custom-made according to the measurements of
each single amateur or professional rider. It
is a frameset entirely hand-built with true
artisanship features, yet utilizing
cutting-edge technologies. For example, a
silver fillet-brazing process at low
temperature using free of any impurity and
distilled water so as not to modify the
tubeset molecular structure.
The
seat post binding mechanism, invented and
patented by Casati over a decade ago, is
entirely hidden inside the tubing, conveying
an esthetically cleaner and more elegant look.
Carbon fork, produced exclusively by Dedacciai,
it is proven to absorb vibrations and increase
the stability and smoothness of the frame. The
derailleur cables are guided internally,
facilitating the replacement during regular
maintenance. Upon request the frame can be
made without hidden seat post locking device,
replaced by classic locking system and with
external cables. Each and every frame is
treated both internally and externally by an
elaborate rust-proofing process, thus greatly
extending the longevity of the product. The
painting is an artisan-like process as well,
meticulously accomplished in six distinctive
steps. The use of top quality paints delivers
a pleasant, “ceramic” feel to the touch
throughout the frame.
Laser
is designed and manufactured entirely at
Casati’s facility in Monza.
Upon
request, the frame can be equipped with
Campagnolo or Shimano components, along with
some of the most exclusive accessories
available in the marketplace.
