1960s Torpado: Help With Model and Serial Number
This bike is equipped with:
Anyone have any idea of the year or model? I know very little of old Italian bikes.
- Stronglight 49D
- Campagnolo Record RD
- Campagnolo Record FD
- Campagnolo hubs
- Stronglight (?) headset
- Campagnolo dropouts
- Weinmann brakes (definitely older than Weinmanns I've seen)
- Weinmann levers
- Unoriginal MAVIC clinchers

And a head tube size that suggests that it might just be big enough for you, Justin . Looks to be about a 61?

Nah, it's a 58-59 ("58" is stamped on the BB shell). I just love it and wanted to know more about it. It's at my LBS.

I will fight you, man!
Unless I'm in your will as the beneficiary of the Frejus. In that case, you're right, this bike is a turd.

Very, very similar.
The Frejus' paint is in better shape. I think the Torpado is fully chromed.

I thought that was a later feature as well. But with the Record derailleurs and 49d crank I thought it may have been older. Thanks.
