Three Torpado road bikes have come my way in the past year. This one is an entry level steed sporting a 25.4mm seat post...


This Torpado, a LUXE model, came my way a day or two ago and it sports a 26.4 seat post, suggesting a different frame tube set. The one above had polished chrome on the socks and head tube lugs only. The one below has a fully polished chrome frame, as do other LUXE models that have come my way...


I offer this information only as a source of information to other Torpado owners. And, while I am at it, I should mention that both of these bikes, as found", were fitted with seat posts that were too small for the seat post lug/tube opening. I cannot help but wonder about that. Was it a factory goof or did the seat tube lug and tube stretch with use. My guess would be a factory error.

Anyway, a question. Based on the seat post size, any guesses as to what the tube sets might be?

Almost forgot, this is Torpado #3 that I got a few weeks ago...
