TORPADO Italian racing bicycle. 1986-87. 56cm c to c, says 56 on frame. Campy/DuraAce mixed gruppo, see below. 14-speed. Excellent condition, low miles, never wrecked. Beautiful blue, white, silver color coordination. Will definitely turn heads.
Frame: Columbus SLX throughout, chromed forks andchainstay. With cutouts, embosses, and through the tube cable routing. This is Torpado\'s top-end bike of that era--or any era, built to compete with Tommasini, De Rosa, etc., which it does pretty well. Original paint and decals. Columbus decal on downtube is starting to disintegrate, but I have not replaced it, to prove this is SLX. You can replace it if you like.Fork decals still look good.Very minor nicks, no dings or dents or scrapes. Top tube decals (Campy/DuraAce) were put on by me in 1987 and have been there all along. They are not hiding damage, but due to the age of the bike, they probably have ghostsunder them. If you remove them, you will probablyhave to replace them with something you like better or live with the ghosts.
