Purchased this bike in June of '07 as my first foray into road biking. Everything except the seat and the stem/bars is original equipment, so considering it's 22 years old it's in great shape. Paint and lug/panto touch-up will most likely be an off-season project, as will a pair of NOS wheels. According to Bill at Torelli, "the bike was built as a complete bike by a small shop in Emilia-Romagna."

Freedom of choice...

Submitted by coppi 68 on 07/07/2008.

Freedom of choice does not apply when it comes to racing frames. You want a bike with bullhorns, or priests or mustachioes or whatever? Get a touring bike, or a track bike and do whatever you want. But on this matter, you have no choice. Like a guy needs an excuse to get another bike, anyway. Honestly, it looks like crap. A beautiful bike like that...Madre de Dio!

The only thing thats crap is your attitude. Bikes are a reflection of the people who ride them, anyone can dress up their bike however they want.

Um, Sorry

Drop bars on road bikes are the law. That's a silly comment. You'll find you spend a bunch of time on the tops or on the hoods when you use the bike for commuting. But... You'll get more chicks with drop bars and that's no lie.

Pantographing

Submitted by ben on 09/02/2007.

Really nice bike. The Torelli pantographing is great, haven't seen many examples of that. Please put some nice drop bars on there...

I had drops on it, but was

Submitted by mrcheviot on 09/03/2007.

I had drops on it, but was spending too much time on the hoods riding with traffic. This just suits me and, for the time being, is more practical.

Plus, I kinda dig the bullhorn look. Maybe when I get another ride I'll put the drops back on.

Thanks for the comment though!
