Happy birthday to me!!!
Just bought myself a 29 year old for my 40th birthday!!
Now the agony of waiting for the delivery.
1984 Torpado Super Strada
Got it from Bluedevil63...if you haven't checked it out yet, he's got some nice bikes on his website https://www.cicloclassico.com
Jim really is an upstanding guy.
So...what do you think?

Yeah, I am super excited.
I sold my last bass guitar (used to play in a classic rock band) to pay for it...I will report back as soon as it arrives and I get it out for a ride.

Happy birthday and sweet Torpado! Nothing like some vintage Campy equiped steel for your birthday. That's what I did for my b-day this past March.

Steel is real, baby!
Sweet bike! Happy Birthday, also.

"40 is the new 30". Or not. However, a bike like that Torpado is bound to make you feel younger. Enjoy the ride!

Went for a ride on my Bianchi this morning. Then got home and bought the bike. He said he will ship it out Monday...so the wait begins.
My wife says that 40 is the new 20...I don't think so, but I am gonna enjoy the ride!
