Notes:

This was an abandoned frame that I gave new life to. When I found the frame, the paint and chrome were beyond help so I had it powder-coated, which I now regret as the fine details were lost as the coating goes on quite thick. I will give this frame a new paintjob and decals soon. I just won some decals on eBay, yellow ones, so I will stick with black paint, it should look nice when it is done.

The second photo is of a 56cm frame that has the exact same paintjob and decals that my frame had----if anyone knows anything about this frame, please let me know!

This is a Ciocc and rides like a dream, it is as simple as that. I am guessing it is Columbus SL tubing but I cannot be sure because there were no details on the frame at all. The immaculate ride, the Ciocc name and the 27.2 sized seat-tube are the indications of a higher-end tube set.

No, I think powder-coating

Submitted by jet sanchEz on 10/29/2007.

No, I think powder-coating is great but just remember that it goes on thicker than paint so the finer details will be lost. I have 2 other bikes powder-coated and they are fine because they are both fillet-brazed so there are not really any details to begin with. The embossing on the seatstay is pretty much filled-in so that the word "Ciocc" is not easy to read. Not a huge deal really, I just think that those little things are what is so cool about these older frames.
