1984 Ciöcc










This bike was purchased in 1984-85 from Gilmore Bike Store (no longer exists) in Tucson, AZ. It was my daily rider until the mid-90’s. Since then it hasn’t been ridden much. All components are original except for the wheels. They were replaced with Mavic clinchers. The bar plugs have been replaced. There are a few scratches on the paint. The seat has damage on the left side. The brake hoods have cracked. I’m interested in opinions of the value of this vintage ride. Thanks in advance!

Is that SL or SLX tubing?
Looks really nice with all the options boxes tucked on that bike. Hopefully it does not have any rust or major paint issues.....
Services to go on the road, all cleaned up and polished, on a good day, it could realize a value of up to about 1400 -1500 bucks these days. The C&V market being depressed might bump that down a bit if you want to get it sold soon, but not too much as this bike's really loaded with the "good" stuff! A few years ago when the C&V market was really hot, it might have sold for close to 2K.

Op,
That looks like a San Cristobal ( chrome rear stays) and as Chombi said it has all the right pantographed pieces on it, from the size looks like SLX. Times are tough right now and the market as mentioned is soft....I would say 700 to 1000 in Los Angeles, on the other hand, it has been a while since I have seen a clean Ciocc.
Check eBay for max profit.

Best, Ben

Hello Chomi1,

Thank you for the input! It is SLX tubing. No rust or major paint issues. Regards...

Agreed. Unless there was some physical or health issue that wouldn't allow me to ride it I'd be on that thing all the time.

As is, cracked hoods, scuffed saddle and all, I'd say that's a $1000 bike to someone who likes the marque.
As other have mentioned, the vintage bike market is tough on sellers right now, has been for years.
If that was your daily driver for 10 years,you did a nice job of keeping it up.

Thanks TakingMyTime! I’m blessed with no physical issues and good health. I should take your input to heart and ‘get aboard’.
