Anybody ever heard of Cornado bikes?

Found a bike on ebay, that I've never heard of. Called a "Cornado Torpado" Nice bike, looks like could be Nervex lugs, combo of Campy, Stronglight, 3TTT, etc. Anybody out there ever heard of them?

It's actually just Torpado. I think he misspelled it when it was first posted. Here's some history of the brand.

I have a Torpado! You can see mine here: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...hlight=torpado

Great bike. Don't see many of them around, or hear about them too much. It's nice to have a unique bike.

So that makes it a Torpado Cornado then? Definely more interesting after seeing those pictures.
