At Eroica California last week, I met a guy named Ray from Oregon with a Torrot. I'd never seen one, so I took a pic of the headtube logo and posted it on my IG. A couple of minutes later, a friend from Spain sent me this, "The brand was founded in 1948 in Vitoria (Basque Country) by Luis Iriondo. In the 1950s Mr. Iriondo made a deal with Terrot to sell under his license, but after the French brand was absorbed by Peugeot, the Spaniard decided to re-name his brand as "Torrot" and create his own destiny."

The bike I saw at Eroica had a French threaded bottom bracket and headset.
