The beginning of Ci\u00f6cc<\/strong><\/h2>\nCi\u00f6cc was founded in 1969 by Giovanni Pelizzoli who worked as a bicycle repairman from an early age. First in his father's shop and then as an apprentice in Ugo De Rosa's studio. In the early 1970s, Pelizzoli also worked as a mechanic for the Zonca cycling team, which included Gianni Motta.<\/p>\n

The name Ci\u00f6cc refers to Giovanni's nickname given to him by his father and refers to poker face. Hence the 4 aces that are in a cross shape on the Ci\u00f6cc logo.<\/p>\n

Giovanni's bikes stood for quality and it didn't take long before the better riders became his customers. His first successes were with a world amateur title in 1977 at the World Championships in San Cristobal in Venezuela, a 2nd place at the World Championships at the Nurburgring in 1978 and a 2nd place at the 1978 Olympic Games in Moscow. This can be found on most bicycles on 1 of the decals.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nIn 1980, Giovanni Pelizzoli sold his company to Luigi Conti, so that from now on both bicycles with Conti and Ci\u00f6cc decals could be seen. The new name was Nuova Cicli Conti & Ci\u00f6cc. <\/i>It was also the starting signal for the new owner to sponsor several cycling teams.<\/p>\n
The following teams rode on a Ci\u00f6cc bike:<\/p>\n
\n- Elro snacks – Rogelli – Assos in 1980<\/li>\n
- Termolan – Galli in 1983<\/li>\n
- Maestro – Ci\u00f6cc in 2005<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe first teams to ride a Conti bike were initially still in the UCI category 2, but from 1984 also in the UCI category 1, namely: Santini \u2013 Conti \u2013 Galli with, among others, the Italian national coach Davide Cassani.<\/p>\n
The following year none other than Lucien Van Impe joined the team, the 1976 Tour winner was already on the decline. Freddy Maertens also rode a Conti bike in 1987 with the Robland \u2013 Isoglass \u2013 Austin \u2013 Rover team. This too was in its twilight years.<\/p>\n

Conti's sponsorship continued until 1991 when the company was sold again, this time to former employee and outstanding frame builder Stefano Bonati. The name was changed back to Cicli Ci\u00f6cc.<\/p>\n
However, Giovanni Pelizzoli continued after the sale to Conti with the production of frames under his own name Cicli Pelizzoli. Both Cicli Ci\u00f6cc and Cicli Pelizzoli still exist and, in addition to mainly carbon frames, still make steel and aluminum frames.
\nRecently, Ci\u00f6cc has sold 3 models of vintage steel racing bikes: the San Cristobal 77, the Replica and the Mockba 80 (refers to Moscow 1980).<\/p>\n

Giovanni also helped design and develop the Masciaghi-made Fausto Coppi frames made by the newly founded company at the time.<\/p>\n
Finally: a Ci\u00f6cc frame can be recognized by the ash engraved in the lugs and the logo in the bottom bracket. Also on some models the name is engraved on the lugs of the frame.<\/p>\n
