I have confirmed that my Ciocc San Cristobal is definitely pre-1984. The Cioccs in the '84 catalog have dual water-bottle bosses and brazed-on front derailleur mounts (my Ciocc doesn't). Plus, I have assurances that my frame was already in the shop at least by late 1983 - if not earlier. To be considered a "classic" at Classic Rendezvous a bike must be 1983 or earlier vintage. It has been suggested to me that my Ciocc frame could have been built as early as 1977. Regardless, it looks like I have a "classic" - albeit a still-ridden one with lots of little scratches (but thankfully no dings).
Then again, I knew she was a classic from our very first ride. It is hard to beat the feel of real Italian steel . . .
