The original Mockba Ciocc was road tested in Bicycling magazine and was anthracite colored if I remember correctly. I do not recall seeing the Mockba designation on later frames but I could very well be wrong.

Things could be a bit fuzzy for Bianchis in the early '90s when they had bigger offerings from the Reparto Corse. Complete bikes were usually refered to byt the type of tubing and the group ie TSX Record or SBX Record but seperate fromse were SBX, TSX, SLX, SEX whatever the tubing was.
