I'm checking out the Torpado tomorrow. This post wasn't necessarily for advise, I was just curious what others would pick. I'm a campy snob, but I am attracted to the Raleigh for the nice clean paint and chrome, and I really liked the Panasonics custom paint. I know the sellers of the Raleigh and Panasonic so I think I could get them a little cheaper than listed price. The Torpado has been listed for a while now so I think I can get it for a lower price also. I do plan on keeping this one, I know I was on a flipping spree, but I was going after something that I couldn't afford. After really thinking about it, I changed my mind and maybe be a purchase in the future. Maybe a retirement gift. I kind of got the feeling I offended a few people for parting some bikes out, if I did I apologize.
