The OP's bike is a mystery to me, I can't identify any frame detail features in common with either my 1980's or ~1990-model Torelli.

Both of my bikes were sold with lower-level Campag equipment, the earlier (now sold) one with Ofmega/Modolo cranks/brakes, and the 1990-ish one with a Xenon Synchro-7 full gruppo.

Frame tubing on mine are Oria, mid-level tubing. Craftsmanship is clean but workmanlike, not much in the way of lug thinning for example, and the lugwork is minimalist and simple.

I came to highly respect whoever the contract builder was, they are very responsive and ride about as well as anything out there imo.

Though the angles are steep, the stability is good, very confidence-inspiring when riding with fast company.
