Fiocco

[kingplinker]

Anyone ever heard of a "Fiocco" Bicycle - from Italy I think? My brother-in-law up in Minnesota has one, going to send me pics soon & then I'll post, but from what I understand it's pretty rare for the states. I think he might be looking to sell it, (I dont want it) but I have no clue what it is! I think it's a newer mountain-type bike, newer as in last 5-10 years that is. LMK if you can find/have any info in this thing! Cheers, T.

Hey, he finally sent me a photo of his bike - It's an odd one for sure! Not a custom - came from factory in italy or whatever just like this - he had it imported - just sharing, Cheers, T.

Looks like thermo plastic, I saw something about it in the early 90's, although very briefly.

Well, I got some more info on this funky bike - It's a handmade carbon bike from Italy, he purchased it from one of their national racers 4 years ago. The frame alone weighs 5 pounds, and he only knows of two in the US.... but could be wrong. He's asking $1,500.00 -WOW! choke....... too much for me & my city dump budget, but maybe you want it - I can send you his email if you want more info on it - he's nice, honest guy, does not sell bikes for a living or anything like that & he's up in MInn. - FWIW - Cheers, T.
