For what it is worth, I have two sets of long seat tube stickers to apply soon. Fingers crossed...
Do we have pictures of the Torpado?
I bought one recently as a project.Compared to my Garlotti The craftsmanship looks really decent, the chrome is decent, the original paint and decals are roached. I haven't even rode it yet so who know;s I may hate it.
I painted the cutouts in the lugs with gold. I Can't get the paint to stick and will redo it with the original white accents.
