Hello! this is my 1st post here on Retro Bike, I'm a bike enthusiast from Belgium (this explain my english), I'm not an athlete, just a daily bike user with a crush on old road bikes. I've been reading the forum for months finding great information ressource on different topics!
I've just won a bike sold as a Ciocc Mockba '80 on ebay an I seriously doubt it's a real one; there's no Ciocc / clover engragving on top of the seat stays / on top of the fork / on the bottom bracket (which is a cinelli), the only part that scream Ciocc is the yellow clover on the lug between the down tube & head tube. Could this be a lower quality Ciocc frame from the end of their business when the company went bigger? is it a fake? Any help identifying this frame would be really appreciated!
