My 1982 Bianchi Eco Pista came from the factory with the underside of the fork crown crudely filed to accommodate its road-sized tubulars. The foreman probably assigned the task to the biggest chooch on the payroll.

Noun: chooch (plural chooches) (Italian slang) A stupid person; a meathead.

If you ever wondered where the name "Ciöcc" came from---there's your answer! (Read that years ago in an interview; when asked about the name, the importer, or whoever it was, said something like, "Well, in Italian it means your fun-loving, good-for-nothing uncle.")
