I admired the several Torellis that I’ve seen through the years, mot knowing much about the brand, but seeing the quality in what I was looking at.
This one popped up on eBay, and I did the research/education at that point.
I had previously known of Mondonico, so was thrilled to see a frame from their shop in my size (and in great condition). AND with my favorite tubing.
I was concerned about the tt length (it is 60cm and 56-57 is the sweet spot for me with a proper 110ish stem), so I also bought a Merckx Corsa-01 frameset at the same time, figuring I’d keep whichever frame fit best, and build it up with the components.
The Merckx is still en route from Holland. Not nearly as mint, but still decent based on the pics.
so, until it arrives, I’ll continue rebuilding and polishing the components 🙂
I’m pretty sure the Torelli will work with the 80mm stem.
nice to have some options.
