I’m looking for a bit more info and ballpark valuation on the Ciocc. The bike is showing its age in places and has had a weld repair done on the frame around the gear levers. There’s a couple of other issues, the seat post is seized, the rear wheel has a couple of loose spokes that won’t tighten and the forks have some corrosion on the chrome. Any help would be appreciated. I’m based in the UK

That rust is sketchy, I wonder how deep it is
PDM replica. Marketed as CIOCC rather than Concorde in USA too. Made by Bilato, I think. Sounds like this example had a rough life. Too bad.
Not sure if the frame is really salvageable depending on rust penetration, but the Campy Chorus / Delta brakes would be worth a few hundred on their own
I believe that Designer 84 frames were made by Ciöcc rather than Bilato. Looks like a Croce d’ Aune gruppo which will have some value apart from the frame, particularly the Delta brakes.
Unfortunately, the frame will be of little value due to the shifter boss repair (unless it was done very well). The bike needs to be completely stripped of existing paint and rust, checked to ensure that the rust hasn’t penetrated too deeply and then repainted. My guess is for that alone you’re looking at £800-1000 and unfortunately, Ciöcc frames don’t have the cache of a
De Rosa, Colnago, etc. which is a shame as they ride beautifully.
Stuck seat posts can be freed if you have the determination and patience.
If you’re able to part out the bike, you’ll get more for it. Otherwise you’ll get maybe £800 from a very motivated buyer.
Good luck!
Just so we don’t have to argue about how it’s pronounced.

Worth a moment to watch and hear it pronounces by the man himself.
The frame is toast those Campy Delta brakes are worth money especially to a Campy fanatic. Carefully disassemble all the Campy components you can and part them out. The Delta brakes were Campy’s most beautiful failures. All looks no action.
I had my 80s Cïocc stolen from me, probably not made by Pelizolli. Giovanni Pelizolli’s son now has his own shop, making his own bikes but also restores Italian classic frames, including his father’s. I bought an early 70’s racer from them with to replace my stolen bike, it rides something special. The frame is signed by Giovanni, which is amazing.
If your Cïocc is toast, I can’t recommend enough getting in touch with Cicli Pelizolli and seeing what they have restored.
